MARS II Bundeswehr

MARS II Bundeswehr (MR-87172 and MR-87034)                                                 

The American model is called G-Mars, can fire new types of missiles and has numerous internal changes. For the Bundeswehr, only 23 vehicles were brought to this level, which are currently converted exclusively to fire the 110mm rockets of the LARS 2 system, which is no longer in service. The vehicles can be easily recognized by the typical inserts in the starting container. 

The MR Models conversion kit MR-87172 contains these inserts for 110mm rockets, a new stage with pivot bearing for the launch container, chains and chain skirts as well as a number of new small parts for external detailing of the model. Some of the small parts correspond to the MR-87034 kit, but many of the small parts are new.

MARS Driving School Vehicle Bundeswehr

MARS Driving School Vehicle Bundeswehr (MR-87173 and MR-87040)

Four of the Mars driving school vehicles were also modernized in the early 2000s, although these vehicles are not currently in active service. The main change is that the driver's cab is equipped with large panoramic windshields and the installation of a room cooling system on the cab roof. The kit largely corresponds to the MR-87040 kit, but has the modernized driver's cab and contains Diehl chains as well as the chain skirts that are now also mounted on the driving school vehicle.
