When you build an unpainted 3D printed armor kit for craft maker photography, the main decision is how much assembly tolerance and budget you bring to the table. The four models here span $59.01 in listed price, from the $16.99 Belgian Kegresse P19 to the $76.00 1/48 AMX-50 Foch Tank Destroyer. All are listed as new, unpainted resin models, but they are not plug-and-play: the descriptions point to support removal, gluing, and some hands-on model-building experience.
Quick Take
If you want a single large-scale, high-visibility subject, the 1/48 French AMX-50 Foch is the most expensive and the most imposing. If a 1/72 US half-track fits your diorama, the M4 81mm Mortar Carrier is listed at $25.24, $3.51 below the M5 Half-Track at $28.75. If you are hunting for the lowest listed price, the Belgian Kegresse P19 at $16.99 gets you into 1/72, though you should expect to provide your own glue and painting approach.

3d Printed 1/48 French AMX-50 Foch Tank Destroyer Unpainted+two track sets
The AMX-50 Foch is the top-price item at USD 76.00 and the only 1/48 model in the set. It is an unpainted kit with supports still attached, and the listing says it must be assembled by someone with hands-on ability; novices are asked to be cautious. The included two track sets add a useful spare-part advantage for mounting or display. It also carries an Age Level of 17 Years & Up and is listed as New. The limitation is clear: you are paying for a larger, more complex object that still requires cleanup, gluing, and painting before it is ready for your photography setup.
3D Printed 1/72 US M5 Half-Track Unpainted Model
At USD 28.75, the M5 Half-Track is the middle-priced American vehicle here. The listing calls it a Handmade 1/72 unpainted model, New, and suitable for Ages 17 and Up. Its description is direct about hand-made imperfection and notes that photosensitive resin can vary, so this is a build for someone who accepts minor flaws as part of the charm. A craft maker with a flexible timeline gets a classic US half-track without paying the 1/48 price. The main limitation is that the model is not ready out of the box: you will still be handling a printed resin surface and deciding how to finish it yourself.
3D Printed 1/72 US M4 Half-Track 81mm Mortar Carrier Unpainted Model
The M4 Mortar Carrier is the least expensive 1/72 US half-track at USD 25.24, only slightly below the M5. What sets it apart is the 81mm Mortar Carrier role in the title, which gives you a distinct artillery version of the same chassis. It is listed as New, for Ages 17 and Up, with Type Tank, and it shares the same hand-made printed-resin caveats as the M5. If you already have tools and a paint plan, this is a cost-conscious way to add a US mortar carrier to the collection. The limitation is that the $3.51 price gap does not change the assembly expectations: this is still an unpainted model that needs your production experience.
3D Printing 1/72 Belgian kegresse P19 half-track tank Model Unpainted
At USD 16.99, the Belgian Kegresse P19 is the entry-level price in this group. The listing highlights a 1/72 resin model that is unpainted, and its description is the most specific about aftercare: minor bends can be corrected with a hair dryer or hot water, some models need glue, and there is no user manual, though the photos show the assembly path. It also notes that buyers need some production experience. For a craft maker photography project on a tight budget, this is the cheapest way to get a 1/72 half-track subject. The limitation is that the listing's stated details are a New condition and Handmade label, while the description focuses on resin repair, gluing, and the need for production experience.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
For a large-scale centerpiece that stands out in a display, choose the 1/48 AMX-50 Foch if you are comfortable cleaning supports and gluing a complex kit. For a classic US half-track at a moderate listed price, the M4 Mortar Carrier gives you a slightly lower price and a more specific artillery role than the M5. And if you want to get into 1/72 with the least cash outlay, the Belgian Kegresse P19 is the budget pick-just bring your own tools, glue, and patience.
