M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) 1/35 Trumpeter

The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a US light multiple rocket launcher mounted on a standard Army Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) truck frame.  The HIMARS carries six rockets or one MGM-140 ATACMS missile on the US Army’s new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) five-ton truck. HIMARS is interchangeable with the MLRS M270A1, carrying half the rocket load.   The launcher is C-130 transportable. The chassis is produced by BAE Systems Mobility & Protection Systems (formerly Armor Holdings Aerospace and Defense Group Tactical Vehicle Systems Division), the OEM of the FMTV. The rocket launching system is produced by Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control.
