Replicated Systems

The M40A1 recoilless rifle is an American 106 mm caliber anti-tank artillery system introduced in the late 1950s. It was developed during the Cold War as an effective anti-tank weapon used, among others, in the Vietnam War and numerous Middle Eastern conflicts. It features a distinctive design and could be mounted on vehicles or tripods.

TOW A1 (Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided) is an anti-tank guided missile developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s in response to the growing armored threat from adversaries. It is still widely used today, both by ground forces and integrated with military vehicles, providing precise long-range firepower.

Model Complexity and Recommendation

We especially recommend the AFV Club 35021 model kit for modelers with an experience level of 3/5 – it requires detailed assembly and precision, but thanks to the high-quality plastic and clear instructions, it is an excellent choice for both intermediate and demanding hobbyists. Perfect for expanding military collections, Cold War and modern-era dioramas, and as a realistic detail for armored fighting vehicle models.

The kit does not include glue or paints, giving you the opportunity for full personalization and recreation of individual historical variants!
