Hey all,
I've recently started work on my USMC forces for my Invasion Australia project, and the TO&E I'm using (Fistful of TOWs) calls for 6 'light AT vehicles'. For the time period I'm looking at (2007 - 2012), this means the M1165 Advanced TOW Carrier. Unfortunately there isn't a model for this in the range, with the only TOW HMMWV being the 90's era M996.
How would people go about representing the M1165 on table? I had considered grabbing the GHQ M1114 and swapping the .50 and shield out for a suitably scaled tube, but I wasn't sure if there was a better option.
Help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Splod

Good question. I would just go with the M996, but all my TOW HMMWVs are H&R 1/300 versions from the 80s. Legions IV Hire's PFC CinC line has the M1025 version.

I really believe that GHQ is missing a way to increase there profits. Understanding that Sculpt creation is expensive and there is a limit to the new releases in a year, they could release conversion kits. There is a couple of vehicles that could be available with a simple change of a turret. Why not create different versions of vehicle baskets to modify the existing vehicle model. I would love to see the TOW basket and, if there was even a small difference, a Grenade launcher. But hey, I am crazy because I would love to see vehicle Stowage.
