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

The Trumpeter 1:35 AR-15/M16/M4 Family XM117 build kit targets keen modellers wanting a faithful small-scale firearm representation. The kit is compact and precise, giving hobbyists an opportunity to assemble a convincing miniature example of the AR-15 lineage.

Model Detail and Components

Consisting of 38 plastic parts and a single photo-etched piece, the kit presents refined surface details appropriate for 1:35 scale modelling. The lack of metal or resin items keeps the build straightforward while the moulding quality supports a clean finish.

Construction Notes

Best tackled by those with some kit experience, careful trimming and dry-fitting will help alignment, especially around small features. The three sprues divide parts logically and simplify preparation for painting and final assembly.

Display Options

When finished, the XM117 makes a neat addition to a weapons display or compact vignette. Its accurate proportions and detail level mean it sits well alongside figures and vehicles in a military collection.
