AirfixVintage Classics Set - A02318V M3 Half-Track - Plastic Model Motor Vehicle Kits for Adults & Children 8+, Set Includes 54 Pieces, Sprues & Decals - 1:76 Scale Model Vehicle Set

Great set and service

Intricate and detailed for a 1960s tool, but the poor instructions make for fair amount of headscratching and chance of errors. Obviously Airfix thinks the dated plans are part of the charm. Construction went pretty well but fitting the trailer wheel assembly was difficult, I couldn't get the front trailer wheels to sit on the floor when hitched, ramps did not extend fully down. Wear marks were created by dabbing some polycement lightly with a fragment of sponge, then carefully dragging a finger to reveal the black primer. The primer also affords some contrast elsewhere on the model.Thoroughly absorbing build of this unusual and evocative subject, great fun.

One of Airfix's numerous military kits from its 60's glory days the reconnaissance set is a well put together if tiny example of golden age plastic modelling.Although only a few cm long the kubelwagen is quite detailed for 1/76, part fit is excellent and two figures fit perfectly in the front seat.The armoured car is also quite nice (although the lack of interior detail is easy to see through the top opening) and all parts fit well without any warping.Finally three tiny footsoldiers can be painted up for use in diaroma's or wargames and have as much detail as you'd expect at this scale.In conclusion an excellent if old kit, good for a beginner or an experienced modeller looking for a diverting few hours.

I had one of these as a youngster, so pure nostalgia

oh yes, this is old model and details are not great, little bit difficult to fit driver into car, but this is great set for diorama.I liked it.

I'm not a big Airfix model fan, but for a vintage model, it goes to show how the pieces do not fit properly and the instructions are poor. I found it hard to see where certain parts went. If you like poor vintage Airfix models, this is for you.

Good model easy to build nice when finished

One of Airfix's old kits revived for a modern audience, or in my case doing again about 40 years later.Not a difficult kit but not for a complete beginner as there are many parts and Airfix have reprinted the old instructions which at times are not overly clear. They did include this time a coloured colour chart for 2 different paint schemes. If you want to know I did better this time around and enjoyed doing it. This is also a great kit to accompany any Allied tank kit of the same scale.

Had this kit as a teenager. Glad to get it again.

I collect U.S. WWII armor mostly in 1/72 scale. Some vehicles can only be found in 1/76 scale or large. (1/48 to 1/32) scales. The M3 APC will make a perfect companion for my Matchbox M16 MMGMC. They use the same White halftrack vehicle for two very different purposes.

Easy to make The kit was not packed well many small joints were damaged

gemakkelijk te maken en duidelijke instructies
