The real subject

The M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is an American light wheeled rocket launcher built on an all-wheel drive truck chassis. It carries a single pod with guided rockets or a tactical missile, and its main advantage is high mobility: after firing it can quickly change its firing position and escape counter-battery fire. Thanks to the wheeled chassis it is easy to transport and deploy. The system has become one of the best-known artillery weapons of the present day.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue them with thin cement for plastic; wash the 3D-printed parts free of any residue and glue them with cyanoacrylate, as with the photo-etched parts. Paint the cab and the engine bay before closing them up. Apply a primer and the paints with an airbrush; a plain green or sand scheme suits contemporary equipment. Bring out the panel lines with a restrained wash and add a modest layer of dust to the wheels and the chassis so that the vehicle looks like a machine in active service.

  • Collectors of modern artillery and missile equipment
  • Anyone interested in contemporary wheeled weapon systems
