This is the Autocar halftrack by Bill Jr. Custom Military Models. The Autocar halftrack saw very limited use by the US Army in World War Two but was also shipped overseas to the Soviet Union in moderate numbers.
This is the underside of the cargo compartment. While at first glance, these models appear complicated and poorly made, this is not the case at all. This is actually a fairly easy model, it just looks hard. Most of the flash seen in the top photo can be removed easily, in fact, most can be snapped off with your bare hands. A quick trim with the X-Acto blade and brush with the sanding stick and most of these parts will be cleaned up pretty fast. This big flat piece can be flipped over and then sanded down on a big piece of sandpaper. Another fast and simple project.
When these parts are flipped over you can see the quality of these parts. The detail on the cab, tracks and winch is excellent.
Look at the detail in the grill of the cab and the bumper winch. These are good kits and if you want a very unusual halftrack for your American or Soviet WWII forces this is a good one to get.
