Looking for some information, I've just picked up the Takom Kamaz Typhoon K MRAP which looks a very nice kit however no RWS is included.

Now I've seen pictures of the big Typhoon with a RWS like this one
Protected vehicle KAMAZ-63968 "TYPHOON-K"
Now does anyone know what RWS that is and more importantly does anyone make one that can be fitted to the Typhoon?

Luciano,

this is the RCWS (Remote Controlled Weapon Station) with 6P49 KORD 12.7mm heavy machine gun. Indeed there is a model of it from Miniarm (product number is MARM35168) available from www.dersockelshop.de

Best Regards

Thomas

Thank you Thomas, I see they also do the IED jammer I'll have to get both sets.

Thanks Tim but the Live resin RWS is different to the one fitted on the Typhoon. Miniarm do the correct Modul DM for the Typhoon as well as the IED jammer, although Live resin do make the same jammer.

As a side question would this Live resin Russian APC driver be suitable as a driver for the Typhoon?
