Academy 13408 1/72 M3 Half Track and Amphibian Vehicle Build Kit  [AC-13408]

Overview of Academy 13408 in 1/72 Scale

The Academy 13408 kit bundles the M3 Half Track together with a 1/4-ton amphibian vehicle at 1/72 scale, creating a compact pair that reflects wartime operational pairings. The set appeals to builders who enjoy careful assembly and realistic finishes.

Operational History and Model Accuracy

The M3 Half Track played varied roles in the war, valued for mobility across difficult terrain. Matched with the amphibian, the models represent the logistical and assault support tasks seen in shore to land operations, and the kit captures those practical forms.

Construction and Finishing Tips

Recommended for modellers with some kit experience, the Academy 13408 supplies crisp parts that benefit from precise gluing and seam work. Detailing on the tracks and body panels responds well to panel shading and subtle weathering to enhance realism.

Display Options and Collection Use

Once built these models make strong additions to shelf displays or small dioramas, providing flexible layout options due to their modest 1/72 footprint.
