That looks great and the cable looks perfect. Really makes a huge difference.

Great info, really!
But hom is the TOW mount installed on or in the vehicle?
I saw IDF launchers that appear to be height adjustable, but the base is situated in the vehicle?
Don, stop being a bad influenceā¦ 
Im about to try to attempt what you did as well as I keep looking at my M151 and cant live with such a big detail missing.

On each vehicle, the traversing unit is mounted on a pedestal. There is a system, an old one, for the M113 that has a pop-up pedestal in the roof hatch. Thatās the only height adjustable mount there is.
Pilot hole drilled in the pedestalā¦ wish me luck guysā¦
Wow, reading more on the TOW has given me an impression of just how effective it really is. And to think I once thought it was a fairly light weapon!
Nope. TOW can defeat any known armor in the world.

TOW can defeat any known armor in the world.
And for half or less the costā¦

Tow for a T- fill in the blank ā¦ Works out to pennies on the pound.
A T-90UM costs $4,500,000 USD and a TOW round costs $93,640 so itās a 48:1 ratio!

@SSGToms . That is amazing. I was being funny about the pennies to the pound . Your exact cost ratio is outstanding.
Feeling a little out of place, but hereās what I will be doing:
Iāve also got a set of AFV Club Churchill tracks in, and waiting for my T54 tracks and duckbills from Panda Plastics. This is what Iām aiming for, from the Canadian 5th Armoured Division:

That looks like an excellent build Colin and youāre right, this is the Canadian Campaign thread, dammit! Maybe one day Iāll do a TOW campaign. No more TOW talk. Just Canadian stuff. That looks like a very cool tank to portray!
I love the firefly! Look forward to this build
Nonsense! Things just got weird here for a bit.
Iām looking forward to hearing about your build. Iāve been wanting to build a firefly for a while but I can never decide which kit to build.
Bonus marks for going with the Maroon Machine!
You know if there is a TOW campaign we will only talk about Canadian things right? 
Pretty much every build of mine in this campaign minus my MMEV has a TOW missile somewhere strapped to itā¦ and more are coming

That looks like a really interesting build!
Cant wait to see more Canadian WWII things being made as opposed to the Modern/Cold War things everyone is building.
The Tasca kits are a treat for sure
