Trumpeter 00505 XM117 AR-15/M16/M4 Family 1:35 Kit  [TP00505]

Trumpeter 1:35 AR-15/M16/M4 Family XM117 Replica

This Trumpeter 1:35 AR-15/M16/M4 Family XM117 replica is designed for modellers who appreciate compact, accurate firearm miniatures. The kit reflects the defining shapes of the series while keeping the build tidy and approachable for those familiar with scale kits.

Precision Moulding and Small-Scale Detail

The set comprises 38 plastic pieces plus one photo-etched part to sharpen tiny elements. At 25.55mm long in 1:35 scale it matches common display standards and fits neatly into infantry dioramas. The kit does not include metal or resin accessories, relying on well moulded plastic components for realism.

Assembly Approach

Moderate modelling experience is recommended due to small components and the delicate photo-etched item. The three sprues separate major assemblies clearly, which helps with staged construction and painting sequences.

Use in Models and Exhibits

Once completed, the XM117 makes a convincing addition to military scenes or as a standalone display piece. Its scale and detailing allow it to complement vehicle loads, weapons racks or a single model on a display plinth.
