Mr. Tamiya,

I need three of these, at least!

PS. Anyone else notice that it has both types of rearview mirrors on the sprues? The truck style attached to the windshield, and the firewall mounted ones further up the sprue. Separate door panels. I think I'll need 5 of 'em.

Not being very knowledgable about exact parts etc. one thing pleases me is that they have included a second figure. I hate when you buy a kit like a hummer and it has only one figure for the machine gun etc. Who is supposed to drive it. daft this may be to some of you ...... but for me thats a bonus!

Hi Pte. Illini,
fantastic looking kit, was there any release date mentioned for this kit? You guy's in the U.S. are lucky, as you have them before us, over the pond here Drives me #:-) having to wait so long. You also have some of Mr T's kits that are no longer in supply here. Thanks for the info I now have a kit to look forward to :-)
Regards, Kenny.

The boxing of Academy's M966 TOW carrier has 3 figures, a driver, passenger and the gunner.

I saw this at the Tamiya-Con meeting in Southern California last weekend.

They didn't have any for sale. If they did I would have bought a few.

Rumor has it in about a month it will be available. I keep checking Hobby Link Japan the usually have the new releases first.
