Role of the M151A1 on the battlefield

The M151A1 was a common utility vehicle for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps from 1959 through the early 1990s, used extensively in Vietnam. Its revised rear suspension and added turn signals improved handling and safety, while many trucks were repurposed for tasks like carrying a 106mm weapon or serving as field ambulances.

What the kit offers the modeller

This 1/35 Tamiya kit captures the vehicle's defining points with precision-moulded parts. Hobbyists can build authentic Vietnam-era versions using the supplied decals and updated components intended to reflect the truck's operational details.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 98mm
  • Width: 45mm
  • Assembly type: Kit
  • Decals: Included
  • Photo-etch parts: Not included
The kit includes parts representing the swing-arm suspension for visual accuracy. It is a static model, so suspension will not be functional, but the detail is good for realistic appearance.
The kit provides decals and new parts suitable for a Vietnam-era finish. For additional weathering or stowage, consider aftermarket bits like canvas straps, radio sets, or small stowage packs to personalise the scene.
Photo-etch is not included and is not required. The plastic detail is sufficient for an accurate build, though advanced modellers may add photo-etch for finer grille or instrument details.
