M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle) M113-based Tank Destroyer 1/56 Resin Vehicle Kit

About This Kit

This 1/56 scale resin kit depicts the M901 ITV (Improved TOW Vehicle), an American Cold War-era tank destroyer based on the M113 armored personnel carrier chassis. The model captures the vehicle's distinctive profile with its elongated hull, tracked suspension system featuring six road wheels per side, and the characteristic BGM-71 TOW missile launcher mounted on an articulated arm above the superstructure. The launcher's elevated position and twin antenna array are clearly visible, emphasizing this vehicle's role as a dedicated anti-tank platform.

The casting demonstrates fine attention to detail throughout, from the textured track work and individually rendered road wheels to the hull paneling and equipment details. The neutral sage green finish typical of U.S. Army vehicles during the Cold War period is represented across the entire model. Assembly of this resin kit requires standard modeling techniques including cleaning of parts, careful gluing, and minor finishing work to achieve display quality.

This M901 ITV model serves as an excellent addition to Cold War-era American armor dioramas and collections, particularly those representing 1970s-1990s NATO forces. The vehicle's unique form makes it a striking display piece alongside conventional tanks and APCs, telling the story of specialized anti-tank vehicles from the latter half of the twentieth century.

Painting & Assembly

This kit arrives unassembled and unpainted, giving you complete creative freedom. We recommend using cyanoacrylate (super glue) for resin assembly. Clean parts with warm soapy water before priming. Use a quality resin primer before painting with acrylics or enamels. Pin larger joints for a stronger bond.
