Mike, thanks
Håkan, TOW M1167 turret is used also on International MaxxPro, and Oshkosh M-ATV probably too.
TOW turret MRAP version with Turret Control System is used on RG-31 Nyala. And I suppose this version can also be mounted on Cougar, the high platform reduces the effect of exhaust on the elements placed on the roof.

Wow, that is truly exceptional detail and casting quality!

Does Legends plan to release anything else along with the TOW kit? I know Legends will release the 1/16 MK46 gunner soon.

Great work, Peter!

Very nice. I'll have to order one soon.

Btw, Peter any thought on weapons or accessories in 1/16 since we have several modern vehicles (M-ATV, MaxxPro, T-72, M1A1). It will be nice to have few things to pack those empty spots. I ordered few items from shapeway but it's getting expensive as the M-ATV and MaxxPro cabins are big and can use a lot

Just throwing few ideas at you bro.

Thanks friends!
Steve, thank you! Good skills in Russian
Mike, as far as I know, the sets of weapons and equipment 1/16 are also planned.

And some examples of actual TOW turrets:

In the photo walk-around that I did at the link below. You can see the turret interior markings that indicate which sections of the turret walls get folded down during firing of the TOW system.

There is also details showing how the TOW missile rack and some other associated electronics go in the back.

Are these pouches offered separately in 1/16 or 1/35th scale?

Stuart, thank you

Kylie, I do not use 3D scanning, it's a method for amateur skills level of artists in 3D scculpture. This is just a three-dimensional photo, and such models have no artistic value. I build my models from photographs - scenes of real field conditions (my photo library has several thousand photos), technical information from manufacturers of weapons and equipment. All my models are completely handmade 3D sculpt, careful sculptural work on the character and all the elements of the sculpture, and no any cheap tricks. And I do not like the idea of scanning fat Russian guys (dressed in cheap Chinese gear and weapons for airsoft games) who are trying to look like "hard-core" SOF operators. It's like a fat poodle in a spiked collar that tries to look like a pitbull

Peter, for separated sets of equipment and weapons in 16th scale, all the items in stock in Legend's production, but I do not have information on the release dates. Soon will be the release of figure S#3 in 35 and 24 scales. Scale 16 will be a little later, such figures need a very thorough preparation for production, in order to guarantee the unsurpassed quality of the Legends. Owing to the high quality of the first two 1/16 SEAL figures, are of great success in the market of large-scale miniatures.

Thanks for the info, Peter. I would be interested in a 1/24 SEAL #3, and if the SEAL's pouches and weapons come separately in 1/16 and 1/24 scale, that would be a great addition to the modern figure market.
