What is the difference, and how to convert a standard vehicle air defense variant?

Hi Juhasz,

The differences are only minimal, you have to build the Standard Vehicle Mounted Launcher plus some smaller fittings on the turret. I build a concersion for Academy Europe
2 years ago. I hope they will soon release it for their M2 A2 kit.

Best Regards

Hans-Hermann

I built one a few years ago.....I used the Tamiya kit, and replaced the TOW launcher with the Stinger box out of the old Italeri HUMVEE Stinger Avenger kit.

Not 100% accurate, but it looks the part.

Here's the one that I made about 10 years ago based on the Academy M2 kit and the stinger pod I heisted from the Italeri M998 Avenger kit.
