Semicingolato M5A1

Recensione del Modello Airfix in Scala 1:76

Il modello di Airfix shown here is advertised as un semicingolato M3A1, but the flat section mudguards, the hinged top section of the hull sides, e the vehicle dimensions point to a M14 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage supplied alla Gran Bretagna under Lend-Lease e re-converted to the semicingolato M5A1 configuration. The stowage racks on either side of the vehicle have been left off to simulate an M14 conversion which had not received the racks. The M5A1 has been painted Humbrol 159 Khaki Drab, highlighted con 30% white. The .50 cal Browning HMG included in the kit has been left of, because the vehicle will be fitted con un mitragliatrice leggera .303 Bren. External stowage may be added to further detail the semicingolato.

Valutazione

• Excellent choice of subject, converted M14 Multiple Gun Motor Carriages were used as trasporti truppe semicingolati M5 e M5A1 in the battaglioni di fanteria motorizzata attached to armoured formations britannici.
• Scale model con good detail.
• Compatibile con Fujimi, Matchbox, Nitto, Crusader Models, JB Models, Milicast e Cromwell Models.

• Il modello di Airfix is incorrectly advertised as a semicingolato White M3A1 serving con the US Army nella Normandia, when in fact it is a conversione del IHC M14 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage di International Harvester Co. of Chicago, Illinois al semicingolato M5A1 britannico.
• The engine compartment is slightly distorted e needs careful adjusting to achieve a better fit.
• Parts No. 36 e No. 37 are labeled incorrectly in the instruction manual. Part No. 36 should be mounted on the right bumper, Part No. 37 on the left bumper.
• Part No. 31, jerry can, was marred by a sink hole.
• Part No. 40, ring mount, was not cast correctly.
• No optional parts. Side e rear doors ed armoured windshield covers are provided in the buttoned-down position only. The Fujimi M5A1 is the better choice for collezionisti interested in modelling the semicingolato con open windows.

Il modello di Airfix of the semicingolato M5A1 is an excellent choice for giocatori wargame who look for cheap e serviceable trasporti truppe corazzati to equip their Motor battaglioni britannici. The Airfix semicingolato M5A1 is perfectly compatibile con the Fujimi semicingolato M5A1 con winch, which offers more detail ed a better variety of modelling option.
