Revell SnapTite (851766) 1:32nd scale HALO UNSC Warthog
Frank3k:
I have fond memories of the original Halo game and the soundtrack is awesome! The Banshee was my favorite, though.
Matt Irvine has a good breakdown of the kit I can see how the interior would be pretty big even for a Spartan.

Great review and an excellent image of all of the parts in the kit (no parts runners/spures to deal with). The size/scale disparity only gets more aggravated when you see images of the Warthog and then compare that with what you get in the kit and all of a sudden your level of fun and enjoyments is immediately reduced by half. But that being said, it is the only "Affordable" Warthog kit available in a reasonable model scale. Would be nice to see one of these in 1/48th scale so it would fit in a C-130, CH-53, and V-22.

I have had the Halo (1, 2 & 3) soundtracks on my iPod for many years. I second Frank's comment.

I'd love to see them in 1/35th scale so they'd fit in with modern armour kits and accessories too.

Yeah, it would be nice if they had approached this in a logical manner and the kit was produced in 1:35th scale but you have to remember you are dealing with corporate monkeys that have no clue and the best they could come up with was to make it 1:32nd scale just like the majority of their other snap-together kits. With the rise in popularity of 3D printers I suspect that someone will eventually take the leap of faith and do us all a solid by creating a Warthog in 1:35th and other scales that are compatible with most modelers.
