Started building the Airfix half-track when I was about 10: years old, 56 years ago! An amazing lifespan for what was designed to be just a boys toy ( pre anything internet). OK so if you know modelling you will know that although the box says it is am M3A1 it is actually nothing of the sort. A sort of M3/M5 hybrid. It is very accurate in its scale of 1/76, better in this respect than many other makes. What I like about it is that it is so easy to convert to other variants. M4, M16 etc. And easy to assemble. The plastic is soft enough to cut easily without cracking if modifying the basic kit. One problem I have noticed with the ones bought recently is that the decal sheet only has 2 US star marking on it when it should have 3. Maybe I love this kit so much because it reminds me of simpler times but whatever the reason I still think it is good value for money and very enjoyable even compared to some of the more modern counterparts. The kit used to contain ambulance variant with canvas cover which the modern ones don’t. So maybe worthwhile searching eBay for one listed as ‘vintage’ to get the extra parts.Read full review

An airfix vintage kit with crisp detail and lines, also sturdy, there is flash but not major tracks are moulded with running gear in one piece, so can be of help as rubber tracks can often be tricky with this scale.

This is an Airfix Classic. The detail was outstanding for the 1960's, but is now showing signs of its age. The kit represents a typical World War 2 US Military Half Track and is ideal for Wargames. Moulded in 1/72nd scale the kit includes a driver and trailer. The Box Artwork is a reasonable representation of what the completed kit will look like.(Infantry are not included). One of my favourites from the Golden Era of Airfix.
