I have been searching all over the internet for a M901 (hammerhead TOW M113) Kit and or conversion. I have seen OLD reviews about an academy kit, but haven't located one. I REALLY want to build one ( I was a gunner on an ITV...now converted to SBCT with Shellback 966 HMMWV Truck Commander) The only option I am seeing is to buy a M113 and the LAV TUA and kitbash. That option looks a little pricey and almost out of the scope of my ability. Does anyone know of any old Kits floating around, or maybe an obscure manufacturer with a current kit? Thanks.

The Academy kits (#1361) are still kicking around on shelves. There's also the Italeri M901 ITV (kit #254). Academy kit is better though and gives the option to make the FIST-V as well.

Verlinden made an ITV conversion set for the basic Tamiya M113A1. It's OOP, but you can search for it on eBay.
