Hobby Boss 82920 1/72 M4 High Speed Tractor Overview

The M4 High Speed Tractor was produced by Allis-Chalmers between 1943 and 1945 as a prime mover for the 90mm anti-aircraft gun and the 3-inch gun. This Hobby Boss kit recreates that vehicle at 1/72 scale and gives modellers a chance to build a compact example of wartime engineering.

Role in the Second World War and Modeller Interest

Replacing older crawler tractors, the M4 carried crew and ammunition and supported mechanised artillery formations. With more than 5,500 units made, it was a common sight in logistics operations and is a useful subject for historical displays and dioramas.

Kit Layout and Build Notes

The kit contains just over 20 parts, making it approachable for hobbyists who want a satisfying build without a large time commitment. Finished dimensions are 73.6mm long and 40mm wide, and the two sprues include separate upper and lower hull parts for accurate assembly.

Yes. With a relatively small parts count and clear hull components, it is suitable for those new to plastic modelling who want to learn basic assembly and finishing techniques.
The kit does not include detailed paint instructions, so modellers often reference period photos and paint charts to match appropriate army finishes and weathering effects.
Yes. Its compact footprint and historical role make it a good companion piece for 1/72 scale artillery, trucks, and figures in small diorama scenes.
