Tamiya 35125 - 1/35 M151A2 MUTT with TOW Missile

The Tamiya 1/35 model of the U.S. M151A2 outfitted with a TOW Missile Launcher recreates a notable support vehicle used to counter armoured threats. The kit reflects how the BGM-71A TOW system extended engagement range beyond earlier direct-fire weapons.

Historical Notes and Modelling Value

The M151A2 served as a light utility platform adaptable to numerous roles. Adopting the TOW launcher represented a significant capability upgrade; this kit captures the equipment layout and offers a clear subject for modellers interested in modern-period military vehicles.

Parts Breakdown and Realism Elements

All major parts are injection-moulded in tan plastic and include a seated driver figure plus the prominent launcher unit beside the front seating. A tri-pod enables a dismounted firing pose, and the kit supplies extra items such as a spare wheel, an ax and a Jerry can to boost authenticity.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Decals: Waterslide for Army and Marine Corps versions
The kit supplies tan-coloured plastic parts, a driver figure, the TOW launcher assembly, a tri-pod for ground mounting, waterslide decals and accessory items like a spare wheel, ax and Jerry can.
Standard modelling paints, brushes or an airbrush are suitable. You will also need model glue, cutters, files and fine sanding papers to prepare and assemble parts neatly.
Intermediate modelling skills are recommended due to small fittings and assembly steps. Beginners can complete the kit with patience and basic tools, but should allow extra time for trimming and painting.
Soak decals briefly in warm water, slide them into position, blot excess moisture and use a decal setting solution if needed to conform them to surface detail before sealing with a varnish.
