Here's my entry for the Tank Terror. It represents the M966 TOW II weapons carrier I commanded while serving with HHC 3 Battalion 17 Infantry Regt, 7 Infantry Division (Light).

Highlights of the construction:
M966: Academy, M966, TOW 2 Missile Carrier, (Kit #CA149)
DML U.S. Marine Tank-Killers; for the TOW 2 (kit #3012)
Eduard Photo-etch, M1036 HMMV with Tow Launcher (Kit # 35 258)
Aber Photo-etch, TOW and Dragon Detail Kit ( )

Scratched built: Radio set AN/GRC-160 with KY/TESC-57, Camouflage system, all cables, TA-312 in case, DR-8 field wire spool, carrying cases for the Tow night sight equipment.

Looks great Ed, you could almost climb in and take it down range!

I had wanted to participate in this build, even had the ExtraTech M36 Jackson and Esci M901 ITV lined up, but...no 1/72 scale kits. Oh well, maybe next time.

All I can say is...WOW. That is one outstanding build. BTW, when were you at Planet Ord? I was a doc with 2/17 back before they became 7th LID.

Please tell me that is bigger than 1/72? I couldn't take it if all that detailing is that small. Stunning. The interior is simply amazing.

No, No, You're supposed to post a picture of the Model, Not the actual Vehicle you crewed!

Very nice, Ed. You captured that satin effect on the hardtop just perfectly. I can just about smell the diesel & sweat from here!

[EDIT]- Oh, BTW, LOVE the prop-stick on the rear liftgate! A little detail that many who never crewed one often miss!
