Academy 13408 1/72 M3 Half Track and Amphibian Kit Overview

The Academy 13408 model kit provides a compact study of World War II engineering by combining the M3 Half Track with a 1/4-ton amphibian vehicle in 1/72 scale. It is well suited to hobbyists who enjoy assembling realistic miniatures and exploring period details.

Authentic Background and Scale

The M3 Half Track served as a reliable, multi role platform during the war, prized for its off road capability and troop carrying role. Together with the amphibian vehicle, the pair highlights the practical adaptations used in amphibious and shore operations, giving modellers a chance to recreate those historical scenes.

Parts Fit and Finish

Targeted at intermediate builders, the Academy 13408 kit includes accurately moulded components that reward careful assembly and finishing. Track segments, wheel hubs and hull panels offer crisp detail that responds well to light weathering and fine painting techniques.

Diorama and Display Uses

Completed at 1/72 scale, these models are easy to place in shelf displays or compact dioramas. The compact footprint lets collectors add the set to existing military layouts without overwhelming display space.

Yes, decals are included to help recreate authentic markings for both the Half Track and the amphibian vehicle.
Acrylic or enamel model paints work well at this scale, and a fine brush plus hobby knife and thin cyanoacrylate or plastic cement will make assembly and detailing easier.
