Trumpeter 01096 NASAMS (Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) 1/35 is an advanced plastic model kit depicting the cutting-edge Norwegian NASAMS air defense system in detailed 1/35 scale. This model kit faithfully replicates the original system used by the Norwegian Armed Forces and the militaries of many other countries around the world, providing the opportunity to build an extremely realistic replica of the globally recognized KONGSBERG and Raytheon defense platform. The original NASAMS entered service in the late 1990s and has since been the primary medium-range air defense system for twelve countries, including Norway, the USA, and Australia. The system is used, among other roles, for defending infrastructure and airspace against modern threats, including important NATO operations.
