Airfix - Vintage 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

Always a pleasure to build an Airfix kit. This one went together well, crisply moulded parts making for a good fit

Great set and service

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.

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.

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.

Looks good would be better if it had a tank added to set

Very nice model but !warning! The sprue is very flashed. So prep your work. The instruction need revising. It's saying 1 hour build. Sorry this is a miss conception . This took me 3 weeks to build. Nice model. But airfix need to renew the moulds. Build quality 6.5 out of 10 Price 10 out of 10

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.
