Tamiya 1:35 M151A1 Vietnam War

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

The Tamiya kit allows building the model of the American M151A1 Ford Mutt off-road vehicle from the Vietnam War, along with the driver. Ford Mutt took over the role of the legendary Jeep Willys MB in the American Armed Forces. It played the role of a basic multitasking car from the 1960s to the 90s when the Humvee vehicle has appeared. The vehicle can be built with a folded or unfolded roof, as well as an air intake and an exhaust pipe adapted to overcome water obstacles.

The box contains 3 frames with elements of the model, a transparent plastic plate with glass and decals (allow reconstruction of the Gendarmerie vehicle or the United States Marine Corps).

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.
