Quick Look at Hobby Boss 82920 1/72 M4 High Speed Tractor

The M4 High Speed Tractor, developed by Allis-Chalmers from 1943 to 1945, was designed to tow 90mm anti-aircraft and 3-inch guns. The Hobby Boss 1/72 kit replicates that role in a small, build-friendly format for model collections.

Historical Role and Collector Appeal

This tractor replaced older crawlers and handled both crew and ammunition movements, with production topping 5,500 units. As a subject, it provides a practical link between logistics and frontline equipment for display modelling.

Kit Contents and Assembly Tips

With just over 20 parts and two sprues containing upper and lower hull sections, the kit delivers a compact assembly experience. Finished size measures 73.6mm long and 40mm wide, fitting neatly among other 1/72 military models.

  • Material: Plastic
  • Total Parts: 20+
  • Sprues: 2 (upper hull and lower hull)
  • Dimensions: Length 73.6mm, Width 40mm

Is this model suited to display with figures?

Yes. At 1/72 scale the tractor pairs well with figure sets and small diorama bases, allowing realistic crew and equipment arrangements around the vehicle.

Do parts require heavy cleanup before glueing?

Parts are generally straightforward but expect some light sprue trimming and seam cleaning to achieve a snug fit between the upper and lower hull halves.

Can I weather the finished model without extra detailing?

Yes. Simple washes, drybrushing, and pigment dust can create convincing wear on the plastic surface without additional aftermarket parts.

Is this kit suitable for display on open shelves?

Its compact dimensions make it stable and suitable for open shelf display, and the low parts count reduces the risk of delicate pieces snapping during handling.
