Tamiya 35159 - U.S. Marine AAVP7A1 w/UGWS Scale Replica

The Tamiya 35159 AAVP7A1 w/UGWS kit recreates the Assault Amphibious Vehicle in precise 1/35 form. The parts provide clear surface detail and assembly options that appeal to scale modellers seeking an authentic military subject. The AAVP7A1 traces its development from the LVTP7A1 to the present upgunned variants.

Functional Role Summary

Designed for amphibious insertion, the AAVP7A1 can carry 25 fully equipped troops and operate in waves up to 3 metres. The Cadillac Gage Upgunned Weapons Station fits heavier weapons, notably a MK 19 Model-3 grenade machine gun and a .50 calibre machine gun, improving onboard firepower.

Kit Features for Modellers

Tamiya's kit gives a faithful representation of structural and turret details, including manual control components and the Power Assist Travers (PAT). Builders will find the parts well engineered for neat joins and a convincing final model.

Build time varies by skill and finish level. Expect several evenings for a clean out-of-box build and longer if you add weathering, aftermarket detail or a diorama base.
The kit ships with decals for markings. Apply them over a smoothed base coat, use decal setting solution if needed, and seal with a clear varnish to protect the transfers.
Keep the model dust free with a soft brush or low pressure air, and avoid bright direct sunlight to prevent paint fading. Secure small fittings and check glued joints occasionally to ensure long term display stability.
