The offered Takom 2149 M114A1E1 CRV (M114A2) model in 1/35 scale is a precise plastic assembly kit representing the American reconnaissance vehicle M114A1E1, also known as the M114A2. Manufactured by the renowned company Takom, this kit is dedicated to demanding modelers with a passion for Cold War armored vehicles.

The original M114 CRC (Command and Reconnaissance Carrier) was developed and produced by General Motors and Cadillac in the 1960s for the United States Army. This lightweight, fully armored vehicle was designed to supplement the famous M113 carrier and featured a tracked drive, amphibious capability, and could be air-dropped by parachute. Its main roles were reconnaissance and command; the M114 saw wide use on the battlefield during the Vietnam War, although due to difficult terrain conditions it proved less effective than anticipated. The M114A2 was used by the US Army until 1973, after which some units were transferred to police forces in the USA.
