Build a Cold War classic with the Italeri 1/35 M163 VADS (Vulcan Air Defense System) – a highly detailed plastic model kit based on the legendary M113 chassis. The M163 was developed by the U.S. Army in the 1960s to provide mobile anti-aircraft and anti-helicopter defense, pairing the proven M113 platform with the powerful 20mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon.
This kit accurately replicates the early production version of the M163, featuring a rotating turret, radar fire control system, and realistic surface detailing. The model is ideal for Cold War and Vietnam-era dioramas, offering a unique addition to any 1/35 scale military collection.
