Just a thought for the M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage…. Consider adding a second complete Maxson turret kit to the M16 kit and either add the M45 on an M20 Trailer or an M51 on an M17 Trailer. This would allow your loyal Rubicon Customers could build both. I would rather pay more for a plastic kit than for a cardboard box. By doing multiple kits in a box, the customer saves on the cost of kit, Rubicon save on not having to put out another kit....
The M16 Meat Chopper lends itself to the M5 Halftrack conversions such as the M14 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage. Do the floor boards’ right on the M3/M16 Half-tracks and it could be used with minimum rework for the M5/M14 Half-tracks. The Extra Maxson could also be used for the M3/M5 Stuart AA Conversion…
The M45 on the M20 Trailer would give the Jeep something else to tow, the M51 on the M17 Trailer needs a 2. 5 ton 6X6 GMC to tow it!
Both kits would be sought by Gamers doing “Korea 50-53” or “French Indochina 45-54.” And the M45 would be sought by Gamers doing “Viet Nam 65-73” for US M35 2.5 ton Gun Trucks.
I’m a Gamer constantly looking for that “special equipment” to round out my forces! Whether it's a field kitchen or a tank...
