The Plastic Soldier Company – WW2V20013 – Allied M5 Halftrack

Description:

Allied M5 Halftrack

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a U.S. M5 armoured half-track. Virtually equal to the M3, but produced by a different maker, which drove to small differences. M5s were supplied to  Soviet Union, the British Commonwealth, and France. The kit depicts a British Commonwealth supplied, since includes such crew. M5A1 variant had a M49 machine gun mount, able to fit one 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) M2 Browning heavy machine gun (also two .30cal) but kit only supplies the M2 Browning option and one .30cal for the rear mount.

Box contains three full models, each one can be build as M5 or M5A1 variant. Box includes 24 crew figures in British uniform, 8 per vehicle, plus some extra stowage and accessories items.

Models are simplified and robust, they are intended for wargaming. For the U.S. M3 see The Plastic Soldier Company – WW2V20012 – Allied M3 Halftrack.
