Description

This is a Dragon Models 1/35 scale assembly and painting required plastic model kit of the T19/M21 81 mm MMC (Mortar Motor Carriage), a variant of the World War II era U.S. Army M3 Halftrack personnel carrier. The M21 MMC is a M3 based Motor Mortar Carriage equipped with the M1 mortar designed to allow the mortar to be fired from within the vehicle. Dragon's new 1/35 scale M21 kit is well appointed. The new rear door on the hull can be posed open or closed, while the fighting compartment itself is brand new to replicate the M21's unique configuration. The whole of the open-topped fighting compartment is fully detailed, including a brand new M1 mortar with aluminum tube. The internal ammo racks are filled with newly tooled mortar rounds ready for firing. On the outside of the fighting compartment are brand new stowage racks, and here Dragon has come up with a neat solution. The external mine racks come as a pre-molded option with all the mines in place, or alternatively, a full set of individual mines can be affixed as chosen by the modeler. These separate mines come with photo-etched parts to provide heightened detail. To ensure this M21 is ready for action, Dragon also throws in a bonus driver figure. As can be seen, Dragon's M21 has an exhaustive set of specifications that allow modelers to create a model full of individual flair!
