For all Tamiya Halftrack Kits

This set consists of 25 cleanly cast resin pieces with no blemishes apart from some minor resin buildup in the tight recesses of the cooling fan casting.

The first thing I noticed is the box is about three times bigger than needed to hold the parts. This gives the impression there is more inside than is the case?

You get a rear firewall with three fittings and front radiator and cooling fan casting (note comment above). The remaining pieces are all for the engine and will build into a "busy" engine with all the major components provided. You will have to provide your own fan belts and wiring.

Some surgery is need for the Tamiya kits obviously and this is explained in 7 steps of text instructions along with the basic diagrams.

Care will be needed removing the engine compartment doors from the Tamiya kits parts as no replacements are supplied. These are all straight cuts and the panel lines in the kit are well defined, so should be fairly straightforward.

We can only wonder if this is the first of a number of update sets for the Tamiya M3 Kits as they have been around for a few years now.
