M901 HAMMERHEAD (US)

The M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle) is an American armoured vehicle based on the ubiquitous M113 APC and equipped with a dual TOW missile launcher. Introduced into service in 1979, the M901 is nicknamed the hammerhead because of the shape of its turret launcher which give it a firing coverages of 360 degrees in azimuth and +35 to -30 degrees in elevation and has the capability for day and night acquisition and tracking of targets. Capable of firing two missiles without reloading, the M901 carries 10 missiles reload. The TOW, a semi-automatic guidance system anti-tank missile, has a range of around 3,000 meters.




The kit is the old Esci with some reworking and many details addition. It's my first US Army vehicle and my first attempt at a MERDC type camo... and I am quite happy with it 😎 (made 2021)
