Trumpeter 1:35 AR-15/M16/M4 Family XM117 Scale Kit

The Trumpeter 1:35 AR-15/M16/M4 Family XM117 scale kit is crafted for modellers aiming for a compact and accurate firearm replica. It presents the characteristic features of the AR family in a small footprint suitable for display cases and period vignettes.

Scale Fidelity and Fine Parts

Featuring 38 plastic parts and one photo-etched element, the model captures essential proportions at 1:35 scale. The length and moulding quality are set to complement typical infantry models without needing additional metal or resin parts.

Assembly Advice for Modellers

Recommended for those with some modelling experience, careful handling of the photo-etched component and neat trimming of parts will aid assembly. The three sprues organise components for a logical build sequence and straightforward painting preparation.

Suitability for Displays

Assembled, the XM117 fits well in military collections or mixed-scale displays. Its compact dimensions and clean detailing make it a versatile piece for both standalone presentation and integration into larger scenes.

Light weathering can enhance realism, especially for display with figures or vehicles, but a clean finish also suits museum style displays.
Standard 1:35 infantry figures match this model well, allowing you to create credible weapon racks, vehicle stowage or figure-held displays.
Use a fresh blade and fine sanding sticks, cut parts from sprues with care and perform light sanding to remove gates for a seamless join.
