Product Information

The Airfix M3A1 Half-Track Military Vehicle Model Kit recreates the versatile American half-track family that became a familiar sight with Allied forces during World War II. This 1:72 scale plastic kit represents the M3A1 in a compact format, making it an appealing subject for military history enthusiasts, scale-model builders, and collectors. The M3A1 belongs to the broader M2-M3-M5 Half-Track family, a vehicle series developed from pre-war U.S. Army experiments and produced in large numbers from 1941 through 1944.

The half-track's distinctive combination of front-wheel steering and rear continuous tracks gives the model its characteristic military appearance, while the subject's historical versatility adds considerable storytelling value to a finished display. Vehicles from this family served as personnel carriers, artillery tractors, ambulances, command vehicles, and communications vehicles across campaigns including the Pacific, North Africa, Italy, and Northwest Europe. Rated Skill Level 2, this Airfix kit provides an accessible project for hobbyists who want to assemble, paint, and finish a historically significant U.S. Army vehicle in miniature.

White Half-track M3A1

The M2-M3-M5 Half-Track is a family of American half-track armored vehicles from World War II. The first prototypes of the vehicles in this family were built in 1938, and series production continued from 1941 to 1944, culminating in the production of tens of thousands of vehicles of this type. The M2, M3, and M5 Half-Track family of vehicles was powered by either the Witte 160AX engine with 147 hp or the IHC RED-450-B engine with 142 hp. The armament of the vehicles varied considerably depending on the version, but usually consisted of two machine guns: the Browning M2HB cal. 12.7 mm and the Browning M1919 cal. 7.62 mm.

The first attempts to introduce half-track vehicles into the US Army took place in the 1920s, but it was not until the late 1930s, after many experiments, that they led to the intended effect. In 1938, a prototype Half-Track Personnel Carrier T7 was built, and shortly thereafter, this vehicle was modified to have a body similar to the Scout-Car M3—thus creating the progenitor of the entire family, the M2-M3-M5 Half-Track, namely the Halftrack Scout T14. It was this version that eventually went into mass production in 1941. During its lifespan, three main variants of this armored personnel carrier were produced. The first was the M2 Half-Track, which could carry up to 10 people and served as a transporter and artillery tractor for 155 mm howitzers. Later, the M3 Half-Track version appeared, a 13-person armored car with an enlarged crew compartment and an extended hull. It also featured a door at the rear of the hull. It was a highly versatile vehicle that served as a transport vehicle, artillery tractor, ambulance, command vehicle, or communications vehicle. In December 1942, the M5 Half-Track version entered production; it closely resembled the M3 version but differed in the place of production (International Harvester plants), the drive unit, and was primarily produced for foreign customers. M2-M3-M5 Half-Track family vehicles began their combat route with the fighting in the Philippines in 1941-1942 and were later used on a very large scale by American troops in the Pacific, North Africa, and during the Italian campaign and Northwest Europe until 1945. M2-M3-M5 Half-Track vehicles were used by many countries, including Great Britain and the Soviet Union, which received many of them under the Lend-and-Lease program. They were also used by the Polish armed forces. After 1945, they participated in many armed conflicts, for example: the Korean War (1950–1953), the Six-Day War (1967), and the Yom Kippur War (1973).



Scale: 1:72 scale provides a compact representation of the M3A1 Half-Track, making the finished model suitable for military vehicle collections, tabletop-style displays, and detailed WWII dioramas.

Vehicle Design: The model recreates the characteristic half-track configuration of the M2-M3-M5 family, combining steerable front wheels with rear tracks in the distinctive layout associated with these American armored vehicles.

Historical Subject: The M3A1 represents a highly versatile U.S. Army vehicle family used during World War II for personnel transport, artillery towing, command, communications, and other military roles.

Plastic Construction: The kit is supplied as a plastic model intended for assembly, painting, and finishing, giving builders the opportunity to personalize the completed vehicle through their preferred modelling techniques.

Skill Level: Rated Skill Level 2, the kit offers an accessible modelling project for hobbyists who want to build a recognizable WWII military vehicle without an overly complex construction process.

Diorama Potential: The half-track can be incorporated into scenes representing Allied operations in areas such as North Africa, Italy, the Pacific, or Northwest Europe, adding historical context to a larger military display.

Airfix Kit: Produced as part of the Airfix range of historical military plastic models, this M3A1 is a natural addition to collections centered on WWII armored vehicles and Allied forces.

Any Questions? Look Here

If you need more help, send us an email at hello@poggers.com or call us at our warehouse (262-476-5047) on Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST and we'll help you out!

Poggers Frequently Asked Questions

We fulfill orders as quickly as possible when we're at the Poggers warehouse, Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST—usually within 24 hours of receiving your order. If you place an order over the weekend, it will be fulfilled that following Monday. We aim to hand the package to the shipping carrier within 24 hours, but depending on when the order was placed and how busy we are (we're a small family business, after all), it may take up to 48 hours to get it into the carrier's hands.

The time it takes for your order to arrive depends on the shipping method you choose and when we fulfill the order, as explained above. Carriers typically have a 24-hour handling time before your package enters their system and they start counting the shipping days.

For example, if you select a 3-day shipping method on Monday, the carrier will likely receive it on Tuesday and won't begin counting the 3-day shipping until Wednesday, meaning you should expect it to arrive by Friday, Saturday, or possibly even the following Monday, depending on whether that carrier operates on weekends (e.g., UPS usually does not deliver on weekends). Due to the variability in shipping times, we strongly suggest placing your order as soon as possible if it's time-sensitive.

We're located in a small town of around 2,000 people named “Belgium” in the state of Wisconsin, USA. And no, it's not the country of Belgium—it's a tiny town called “Belgium” that you probably haven't heard of. There's not much going on here, but we do have a nice gas station that recently opened, where we usually get our morning coffees!

Poggers is the best toy store in the world, of course! Well, we might be a little biased... (probably). We're a small, family-owned and operated business with just a handful of employees working out of a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse in the Midwest, USA. We sell all kinds of toys, games, collectibles, anime merchandise, and pretty much anything you’d want if you like having fun!

It's true that when you place an order, we make a couple of bucks, but instead of helping those super-rich shareholders of massive corporations get even richer, you can support us!

To be transparent, we're currently saving up to open our first brick-and-mortar location, so every order helps! We're trying to build a really cool and fun business, with (hopefully) a store that makes you say, “Wow, this place is cool!” when you walk in. The only way we can do that is with your support. So please help us out by clicking that “Add to Cart” button!

Fits exactly as I was hoping! I've struggled to find a hat that has a theme I like while not having a massive dome that makes it look huge when worn. Quality is superb. Also love being able to support a small business that appreciates their customers!

One big wholesome nerdy family.

Just a very fast, friendly, group that feels like a classic family owned toy shop.
Every step of the way, they made sure my package was sent, tracking data and even wanted to make sure it arrived. Like a friend wanting to make sure your present arrived on time.
When it arrived, there were surprises as well, which wasn't necessary, but made me smile.
I ordered a card game, but friends of mine have ordered figurines and plush toys and have had also a great experience.
The fact this was placed during Thanksgiving and during a rough weather storm in Wisconsin was equally amazing!I
love this group and recommend it, even if it's $2-3 more compared to Amazon and other Retailers, this is such a caring retailer.
Give it a try, the service stands out!

Best Apprehension Buy Ever!

I was slightly wary originally to purchase from this story because I'd never heard of it, and when it comes to figures I am extra worrisome but I took the chance because they had a Gojo figure I'd been searching for and couldn't find without it costing an arm and a leg.
The price was fair, so I gave them a chance and I'm happy I did because the figure came in original packaging and clearly unboxed.
It was pristine and exactly as pictured, and it came rather quickly I'd like to add.
The note attached to the invoice was super cute and made me smile. (Shout out to Ray, a fellow JJK fan.) I will certainly buy from here again in the future with no apprehension.
All I ask is that you get the JJK0 Geto noodle stopper figure soon!

Absolutely Fantastic!

I was hesitant at first because I'd never heard of this store and they are quite new, but they're absolutely amazing! Professional and yet delightfully quirky with emails and update, and the site it's self is easy to navigate! They have stock that's old and new at very good yet legitimate prices, and seem to have a range of products from Hatsune Miku to Batman to Pokemon to Skyrim! Big store variety with little store charm, will be buying from them again for sure!!!

First time customer at Poggers

Great price for a Catan expansion! Skeptical at first because they had the lowest price on that item and I've never heard of the company before, so I did a quick google search for the reliability of the company and decided to give them a try.
They're very accommodating with request. Quick and fast response/service.
Item shipped out the next business day.
This is a legitimate family owned company so I'm definitely going to give them more of my business when needed.
