This detailed 1/35 scale model kit from Foreart recreates the M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) in Ukrainian service configuration.
The M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a wheeled, self-propelled multiple rocket launcher developed by the United States Army for long-range interdiction bombardment.
HIMARS is a smaller version of the MLRS and is primarily deployed by the U.S. military's rapid deployment forces, the Airborne Forces and Marine Corps, as well as light infantry divisions that can be rapidly transported and used intensively.
The HIMARS can carry six GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) or one ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System).
The United States began providing HIMARS to Ukraine in June 2022, and the Ukrainian military began using it in combat the same month.
The kit features highly detailed parts to build this modern military vehicle, including the distinctive missile launcher unit and armored cab with its shark-mouth decoration. The comprehensive kit includes multiple sprues of plastic parts, clear components, detailed decals, and photo-etched metal pieces for enhanced realism. The optional 3D-printed sagged wheel set (sold separately as item 9001) allows for even greater authenticity.
When assembled, this model showcases the imposing presence of this mobile rocket artillery system, complete with launch tubes in firing position against a dramatic backdrop. Perfect for military model enthusiasts and collectors interested in modern military subjects, this kit offers an engaging building experience with its intricate details and authentic representation of this contemporary combat vehicle.
