Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The LAV-25 TUA (Tow-Under-Armor) is the anti-tank variant of the General Dynamics Light Armored Vehicle family used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Built on the same eight-wheel-drive, amphibious hull as the standard LAV-25, the TUA replaces the 25 mm chain gun turret with the Emerson 901A1 TOW-2 launcher, capable of engaging armoured targets at ranges exceeding 3,700 metres while the crew remains protected. The vehicle carries two ready TOW-2 missiles in the launcher and fourteen additional rounds in stowage. It saw operational service during the Gulf War of 1991, the conflict that prompted Italeri's initial 1991/1992 release. This kit shares its hull tooling with Italeri's other 1/35 LAV-25 variants.
