The TOW mutt comes with 2 TOW canisters that are beside the driver.
But it doesn't come with an actual missile to put into the launcher.

The 21C Tow missile Mutt did come with a Tow missile, the only problem is that the missile is loaded into the gun.

The Tow missile system, unloaded has this big opening on the top of the tube. That opening is covered by the missile when loaded. The 21C Tow has the missile in it.

It would not be too much trouble to make a TOW missile in 1/18th, would it? Anyone tried to?

I think the Tan Power team elite humvee came with three missiles in the back. The BBI humvees had Tow launchers but no missiles atall the only bbi missiles i know of are SMAW, Dragon, Stinger and Javelin

The 21c Mutt with TOW came with the missile fixed in the launcher and two "spares" fixed to a rack on the side of the vehicle. Those missiles are in their casings. The 21c standard Hummer came with a TOW missile in the launcher as well as a rack of extra missiles to go in the rear compartment. Even the 21c Bradley has a couple spare missiles placed in the troop compartment. The BBI Hummers (at least the green cammo one that I got at Target) did not come with a missile.
