Hi guys, I've just start to build Revell's M2A2 Bradley in 1/72. It's a real masterpiece, and I recomended it to all. Since I mostly make airplanes, and that's my 4th armor kit, I have some questions.



So, which tip-off TOWs are carried by Bradley ?? Where I can find ( on web) photos of this missiles ?? I planed to open missile launcher , to show TOW's warheads. In which color are TOW's painted ??? And, the back side of the launcher - are there just open holes, or some doors like in front of it? Thanks in advance, any help is very appreciated. Best regards, Mario

Most TOW missiles seem to be a olive green color. The warheads vary, and you'll probably need to run down which one you want to use. TOW 2 and some variations have extended tips on them (precursor charges to detonate reactive armor and clear the way for the main warhead.)

The back ends are caps that protect the rocket motor from damage and blow off when launched. Not sure of the color.

As an acft armament technician (68M/J) on AH-1S Cobra helicopters during the

80's I have loaded dozens of these babies and never once was I actually able to see the actual missile in the tube as both ends were protected by a white or gray membrane for moisture protection.
