Could you do something to the group of ammo cans 4 together in a perfect straight line like that just doesnt look right to me, maybe staggered a bit not so neat.

Yep also built the matchbox set way back.

A new hull for m5/m9 would be great lots of users and uses. Would only really need 3 new pieces the hull and parts 15 and 24. from the m3 set.

Probably only need another sprue to do the quad 50 mount, the extra ammo stowage and trailer to fit on the gmc  add this to the m3 set and you get an m16a1.

The trailer set could then be sold as a stand alone kit.

The gun mount is sat on a false floor level with the bottom of the fuel tanks, so instead of using the seat part 4 a flat piece would be needed.

Heres a link to a restored m16a1

Hi there was a later version where the quad 50 mount was added to standard hull m3 with the addition of another riser to enable it to clear the sides.
Ive adjust the title

Any thoughts on these add on for the deuce and half.

Quad 50


Radio shelter


The quad 50 could also be seen on a trailer, the radio shelter usually had a generator trailer in tow.

Got to be honest thinking as a modeller rather than a gamer , dont know if they have a place on the games table

Hi gents, Iam new to the world of 1/56 scale, a modeller rather than a gamer , i saw a m3 halftrack and thought why not, very impressed indeed so i ordered another along with a m4a3 sherman. they could be the first of many.  Not into ww2 as such but the halftracks and shermans are amongst my favourite vehicles used by the Israelis so a few conversions are the order of the day. Eagerly awaiting the m4 and m4hybrid kits to hit the shelves, hoping the m4a1 76mm is not to far away. Just need to get hold of more easy 8 track sets.
Anyway seasons greeting to everyone
