The Academy 13408 presents the M3 Half Track paired with a 1/4-ton amphibian vehicle in 1/72 scale, giving enthusiasts a compact but faithful representation of wartime utility vehicles. The kit is ideal for modellers who focus on historical accuracy in small scale.

Wartime Role and Realism

Presentation and Collection Fit

At 1/72 scale these models slot neatly into small displays or more elaborate dioramas. Their modest size makes them a practical addition to mixed vehicle collections or period vignettes.
