I need some help with a kit I bought a while back. It was in a plastic bag with no instructions and no title of what the kit is called. All I know is that it is a modern half track like the M-113 but it looks like it has some kind of rocket or Tow launcher on the top of it , like a turret. I need help in finding out what exactly it is called and also if there is any detailed photos of such vehicle.

Hi, Jody,
M901 Improved TOW Vehicle

Italeri made this kit

M981 FIST-V (fire support Vehicle)

Academy made this one.

Externally very similar with subtle differences in the turret gizmo. You can look up them up at
