LEGO set 60159, Jungle Halftrack Mission, depicts a jungle exploration mission with a halftrack vehicle. It belongs to the City theme, within the Jungle subtheme, and was released in 2017 with 378 pieces.

Jungle Halftrack Mission sits within the Jungle branch of LEGO City, focusing on expedition play rather than everyday urban services. Its subject matter places the City format in a field research setting, with explorers and off-road travel defining the scene.

The model is built from 378 pieces and includes 2 explorer minifigures. The set name identifies the halftrack as the main vehicle element for the mission.

This set suits LEGO City collectors who are building out the Jungle subtheme, as well as builders who want a self-contained expedition scene.
