The M151A2 could be transported by a CH-53 helicopter and this variant was an FAV (Fast Assault Vehicle) used by the 82nd Airborne Division, USMC and Special Forces. It had improved suspension as well as optional roll bars, various gun mounts, storage boxes, radios and lighting. It could carry anything from a Browning M2HB .50 cal machine gun to a TOW missile launcher. The 82nd AD formed in 1917 and has seen action in just about every U.S. involvement except the Korean Conflict. Designed to replace the M38 Jeep, the M151 was first produced in 1959. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc. Hobby Master's 1:48 scale Jeep packs a lot of scale detail into a small package. The chassis and drive train is constructed almost entirely in diecast metal providing a nice weighted feel to the model. The interior features a pad-printed instrument panel, separately painted seat cushions and scale steering wheel and transmission gear-shifts levers. Each release highlights a variety of cabin equipment configurations such as a center mounted machine gun, open or closed ragtop and rear mounted radio equipment (See Photos). Separately applied battlefield equipment includes shovels, hatchets, jerry cans and a spare tire. Underneath the model the drive train and leaf-spring suspension are clearly visible. © Copyright 2003-2019 The Flying Mule, Inc.
