Hi guys,

I'm looking for a conversion set of the M-901 TOW, ( the inside-part of the system, not the top part !!! )
I know that AEF-designs has one for the LAV-TUA, wrote them a email, got no answer !!
Does any know if there is a another firm that produces a inside-conversion set for the M-901 TOW ?

Thanks,

Gé Hovens

I have never seen one.

I have wondered the same thing, I have the verlinden hammerhead, and a Tamia M113 that I have wanted to build for a while, but have never gotten the courage to!

Nope, there is no interior set for them. They are not too hard to scratch up though. It is a standard M113 interior with some additions. The biggest is the platform below the TOW head and TOW storage racks. I have built an interior for the M981 FIST-V, which was made from recycled M901s and very similar. I actually used the Italeri M901 kit as a base to convert it into an M981 since the Academy M981 wasn't around yet. Here are the results.





(I need to take some updated pics, these are old and bad, sorry.)

Good luck.

Thanks Gino for the pictures.
Nicely done !!

Some photos are of the interior turret trainer.

I can't remember if the Italeri M901 had any interior bits - it's been a while since I built it, but the Italeri LAV-AT has TOW tube racks for the interior, maybe these could be modified to fit the M113 hull? A starting point maybe.

Unfortunately, the M901 ITOW interior is empty. The racks from the LAV-TUA should work though. With them, a standard M113 interior, and a little scratch to make the targeting/TOW station, you will be set.

Rob, I had forgotten about the M901 pics from your Motor Pool. Great reference shots.

Good luck.
