The IDF TOW units usually consisted of two vehicles.  One with the TOW launcher as shown and a second vehicle carrying additional missiles to support the system with a larger basic load of missiles in lieu of a 1/4-T trailer loaded with missiles.

Here's hoping they take the CROWS-J parts and make it a separate offering like they did with their M151 RWS.

Same here! The M151 RWS kit itself is great, but all the Stryker extras in the box are a treasure trove of parts.

I suddenly have the urge to build something - a hovering helicopter, perhaps - with a fired TOW missile and the wire between them.

Timely addition to any armory from AFV Club:



Gonna have to get a couple of these sets before Mr. Fontaine wipes out current inventories...

KitLinx currently has this item listed as "pre-order" with an MSRP of $24.95.  Considering what is included in this kit, I find the current MSRP to be a bit of a price gouge.

especially since it apparently doesn't include a figure of Saint Javelin; not even a decal!

Considering I paid AU$25.50 for the Black Dog T35201 Javelin, Carl Gustav, M136 AT4 (resin) Accessories Set (with 2 of each in the box), you could well be right. :-\

I received my two AFV Club Stryker CROWS-J kits yesterday afternoon.  Quick inspection of the kit contents shows the following:

The Javelin bits in this kit consist of one parts runner containing one shipping and storage container (the plastic tube thing), two Javelin ATGM missile tubes, two CLU (one UK, one US).  The PE provided for the one turned metal Javelin missile contains all of the fins and other detail bits for the two CLU.

I see how the missile launches at an upward angle so that’s ok in the prairie but what do you do in the woods? Even urban fighting could involve tree lined streets.

This Javelin kit would be essential for a Ukraine diorama.
