Description
The M3A2 was perhaps the most accomplished version of this half-track, having benefitted from experience gained in the design and deployment of its predecessors. Its open top turret was fitted with reinforced armor plate, and it could carry up to 12 soldiers. Its 143 hp inline-six gasoline engine could provide speeds of up to 72 km/h. Finely tuned suspension and driven front wheels ensured that the M3A2 was at home on tricky surfaces, earning it a reputation as a trustworthy way of transporting personnel and materiel. This is limited production re-issue of the plastic model assembly kit of the Type 97 tank fielded by Imperial Japanese Forces in the Pacific War. Feature realistic recreations of interior and chassis, capturing details such as the riveted armor and the short 57mm barreled gun. A removable engine room grille depicts the oil cooler underneath. Comes with one full body and one torso figure, plus no fewer than six marking options.
