Excellent set of small American vehicles.
I love the entire Academy series of ground vehicles. In this box you have three WW II U.S. items: an M3A1 halftrack, a Ford GPA (or Seep) and a Harley-Davidson WLA 45 motorcycle.
The halftrack comprises 66 parts of the kit. using slide molding to come up with a one-piece cab assembly (hood, doors and supporting structure) as well as a nicely done set of running gear. The tracks consist of a track run with the rear road wheels, idlers and drivers molded in place and separate front components, which are well done in this scale. An M49 ring mount with .50 caliber M2HB and a pair of .30 caliber Brownings are also provided for complete armament.
The GPA comprises 24 parts and is very nicely done, with a number of very tiny detail parts to dress it up.
No clear material is provided for the windshield, of both, the GPA and the M3 HT.
The WLA 45 consists of six parts: frame and rear wheel, front wheel with springer fork and headlight, handlebars with springs, two crash bars and a center stand. The spokes are as delicate as can be expected with plastic molding, and are commendable for their fineness.
Instructions are very clear, and the kits are easy to build, decals of very good quality. The moldings of the 3 vehicles are very well done, with some pin marks here and there.
Overall, this is a very nice gap filler for small-scale armor fan, like me.
