An Easter surprise for everyone... the Dodge WC-51 / WC-52 "Beep" Weapons Carrier!
Not the final drawings and some missing features are added as well.

WC-51 Truck, Cargo, 3/4 ton, 4x4 w/o Winch Dodge (G502) Weapons Carrier. 123,541 were built. The open cab pickup could be fitted with an optional M24A1 machine gun mount, which bolted across the front of the bed. The mount could carry the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, the M1919 Browning machine gun, or the M2 Browning machine gun.

WC-52 Truck, Cargo, 3/4 ton, 4x4 w/Winch Dodge (G502) Weapons Carriers was identical to the WC-51, but fitted with a Braden MU2 7,500 lb / 3 402 kg capacity winch at the front bumper. 59,114 built.



Enjoy!

Tracks:
When Rubicon Models starts making plastic kits of Allied AT-Guns, I guess it wouldn't be long before we start to see a conversion kit for this model to make the M6 Gun Motor Carriage with 37 mm AT-Gun.

EarlyWarGamer:
That is a very nice vehicle!

If Rubicon doesn't make one , the gun should be an easy kit bash using an extra barrel from the PSC 28mm Russian gun set . The floor mount is just a tapered pedestal , so that shouldn't be to  hard either to make . The gun shield might be the problem though …. have to start searching the net for pictures  ( IRC Tankograd have a tech manual reprint on this vehicle ) . Plus the Russians got 19 - 25000 of these vehicle types ( different books / different totals  ) , used as trop transport , artillery tow and AA with a 12.7mm tripod mount MG in the rear

Captain Blood:
Another lovely addition. Well done Rubicon  8)
