Bought this Matchbox/Revell vintage M16 kit off ebay, all still sealed in the original box and plastic bags. The box was sepia-toned so I think the kit is older than me.
It's a 1/76 kit, so very slightly smaller than the PSC 1/72 M3/M5 half-tracks. I'd forgotten how fiddly it is fitting the rubber tracks to old-style kits, but they went on fine in the end.
Thanks to Martin for pointing me in the direction of the tank encyclopedia website, it's given me few ideas for US vehicles given to the British under lend-lease. I also hadn't realised that the British gave some Churchills to the Russians under lend-lease. Didn't realise the Russians were so low on heavy tanks......
