Interesting subject in "my" scale. Anxious about your experiences with this brand as I read conflicting reports about its casting qualities. Looking good so far.

Thanks guys! I love 1/72 myself, and the Model-Miniature offering is all that's out there for the M270. The model itself is good, but I don't like the tracks... lots of flaws. It probably won't be very obvious to the naked eye in this scale, but it certainly wouldn't win any contests!

It is about time we get a decent injection kit of this vehicle.
Heads up for the tackling of this "surprise". 😄

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! I'm calling this done and displaying it... but if I find a cheap M2 Bradley on auction sometime, I might get it to replace the wheels and tracks on this kit!
Album info
M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS)
Operator: US Army 4th Infantry Division
Location: Fort Carson, CO (USA)
Timeframe: 1991-1993
Personal Interest:
During my tour at Ft. Carson, Division Artillery (DIVARTY) was the primary ground operations consumer of the weather data I provided. Wind and atmospheric pressure data were necessary for accurate artillery strikes. Division Artillery of 4ID operated the M270 MLRS. Although 4th Infantry did not deploy for Operation Desert Storm, the armor was nonetheless painted desert sand in case rapid deployment became necessary. M270 MLRS were occasionally operated on the Fort Carson reservation during live fire drills. The M270 fired a pod of six M26 missiles simultaneously, each of which dispensed 644 M77 anti-personnel submunitions (dubbed "Steel Rain" by Iraqi soldiers).
