Introduced in 1941, the reliable M3 halftrack could carry 12 fully equipped troops at speeds approaching 45 mph, whilst providing protection from small arms fire. It was said that wherever American troops went, so did their trusty M3 Halftracks. M3 halftrack was an American armored personnel carrier halftrack widely used by the Allies during World War II and in the Cold War. M3 half-track was extensively produced, with about 15,000 standard M3s and more than 38,000 variant units manufactured. M3 was extensively modified with several dozen variant designs produced for different purposes. During World War II, the M3 and its variants were supplied to the U.S. Army and Marines, as well as British Commonwealth and Soviet Red Army forces, serving on all major fronts throughout the war. M3 and its variants were produced by many manufacturers including Diamond T, White Motor Company, and Autocar. They were adapted for a wide variety of uses, such as a self-propelled anti-aircraft and self-propelled artillery. I am downsizing and listing/selling on EBay some of my personal collection. Photographs are part of description. Please examine them closely and e-mail me if you have questions, prior to bidding. M3 halftrack is sold "as is." Loose without original Solido box. Since M3 halftrack no longer has its original box, it will be wrapped carefully with bubble wrap, packing material, and mailed in a new white corrugated double walled reinforced cardboard box with a flap that opens and closes easily. Solido military models are built so well that over 45 years later this model is as good as when it was built and first sold. Truly this is quite remarkable! Please note that typically, Solido tanks and armored fighting vehicles as well as firefighting trucks are made in a 1:50 scale while the support vehicles, which include the jeeps and staff cars, are produced in a slightly larger 1:43 scale. Solido military die-cast vehicles feature the following:• Die cast metal construction with some plastic components• Accurate detailed rotating trends and wheels• Realistic panel lines, access panels & surface details• Pad printed markings & placards that won’t fade or peel like decals ================================================================================Be sure to read item description and ask questions before committing to a purchase.
