HI Keith -

I don't know of a kit, so I've scratch built them:









Maybe these are helpful? I hope so - in the last one, you'll see a big carrying case - I am not sure of it's valid or not - I couldn't find a reference, but wanted to illustrate the point of a re-stock....

good luck, cheers

You should think about producing those commercially because they look great

That's not a Javelin. That's a LAW 80, which the UK Army doesn't use anymore.

The Dragon "British Desert Rats" represents the British Army during the 1991 Gulf War. The US Javelin ATGM was fielded in 1996.

The only kit I know of that has Javelin ATGMs is Plus Model's 1/35 "Equipment Set for LMTV (War Pig)" conversion. It has the spare Javelin rounds, but not the Command Launch Unit (CLU) aiming sight computer, meaning these Javelins cannot be fired without the CLU.

You want the entire Javelin ATGM setup with CLU, like this image. As far as I know, no one has made a ready-to-fire Javelin ATGM yet *with* CLU.
