Dragon’s M2/M2A1 halftrack has been a sizzling success with modelers. This highly detailed and accurate 1/35 scale kit has now been joined by a companion – an M4 81mm Mortar Carrier. The M4 was a purpose-built variant of the M2 halftrack designed to accommodate an 81mm mortar, ammunition and the mortar crew. A total of 572 M4 halftracks were manufactured before the improved M4A1 appeared. Because much of the rear compartment was taken up with ammunition storage racks and the mortar itself, there was only seating for three crewmen.

This 1/35 scale kit comes with a completely new fighting compartment, with redesigned armor panels and interior to suit the M4. The highly detailed 81mm mortar is a new tooling and it even has a metal barrel. There is also a brand new, well-proportioned driver figure to fit into the driver’s compartment. This exciting M4 kit is an ideal partner for the M2 halftrack, and Dragon has managed to ensure it’s jam-packed with accurate detail.
