Tamiya 35159 - AAVP7A1 w/UGWS Scale Model 1/35

The Tamiya 35159 AAVP7A1 w/UGWS kit delivers precise plastic parts aimed at hobbyists who value accuracy. At 1/35 scale the model conveys the proportions and surface detail of the real Assault Amphibious Vehicle, a platform that evolved from the LVTP7A1 to meet modern operational demands.

Service Role and Capability

The AAVP7A1 is designed for amphibious landings and overwater transit. It can carry a complement of 25 fully equipped troops and operates in wave conditions up to around 3 metres. Its Upgunned Weapons Station, produced by Cadillac Gage, mounts a MK 19 Model-3 grenade machine gun together with a .50 calibre machine gun for increased suppressive fire.

Why Model Builders Choose This Kit

Tamiya reproduces the vehicle's structural features and turret fittings with clean moulding and accurate joins. Key mechanisms like the manual controls and the Power Assist Travers (PAT) are represented to give a realistic assembly and display outcome.
