1:35 Trumpeter 01082 15U175 TEL of the RS-12M1 Topol-M ICBM System – Russian Mobile Missile Launcher Plastic Model kit

The 1:35 Trumpeter 01082 15U175 TEL of RS-12M1 Topol-M ICBM complex is an impressive plastic model kit of a Russian mobile missile launcher with exceptional scale presence. With a length of more than 63 cm, over 1100 parts and a 16x16 high mobility chassis, this model is a striking build project for fans of modern military vehicles, strategic missile systems and large 1:35 Trumpeter kits.

The Topol-M builds on the earlier Topol, but uses an improved missile. The main difference lies in the way the missile was designed to overcome enemy air defence and missile defence systems. According to the supplied information, the missile manoeuvres during flight and carries both active and passive decoys, with an estimated 60 to 65 percent chance to penetrate defences. The mobile TEL version makes the system especially recognisable with its huge carrier vehicle and strategic appearance.

The road mobile Topol-M TEL is based on the Belarusian MZKT-79221 chassis, previously known as MAZ-7922. This 16x16 heavy high mobility chassis was specially designed for this intercontinental missile and is similar in design to the MAZ-7917 used as a TEL for the earlier Topol missile, but uses eight axles instead of seven. The first three and last three axles are steered, making the vehicle remarkably manoeuvrable for its size. With a crew of three, good cross-country mobility and 500 km road autonomy, this is an impressive subject for a modern military model collection.
