Tamiya 1:35 M577 ACP post vehicle

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of American armored transporter in 1:35 scale.

The Tamiya kit allows building a model of the American M577 from the Cold War era. The vehicle was constructed on the basis of an M113 armored transporter in the 1960s. The set consists of four soldiers, a table, a chair and field binoculars that can be used to create the American commando diorama.

In the box, there is a hull element, 4 frames with plastic parts of the model, a frame with figurative elements, rubber tracks, and decals (allow reconstruction of the vehicle from the 2nd Armored Division stationed in South Korea or the 7th Armored Division stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany).

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing. In the end, it is needed to apply decals according to markings or graphics in instruction.
