Where do you find this information out. When I have googled it I have pictures of the truck with the two extra wheels on the front axle but I didn't realise it was because it was used as a primary mover.

I've been reading & listening to military stuff for over 60 years, so I have all sorts of arcane info rattling around in my head. Both the big Mack & Corbit 6x6s also had this feature as they were also used as arty & engineer prime movers respectively. Your version pulled 105s mostly & later 3" AT guns I think. The 1.5 ton weapons carriers were limited to 57mm AT guns I believe. Photos show they also added deuce'n'ahalf rear tires to the front axle while using the front winch w/an A frame to lift heavy things when not having the two spare tire feature of the prime movers.

I still have to do the weathering and add some Jerry cans and hopefully some pioneer tools.
Suggestions are always welcome.

Great to see you back at the bench Marty. You have a good solid base to work you magic on with the weathering.:thumb2:

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't posted any more pics but I am currently deployed in Oman. So as soon as I am back in the country I will hopefully have finished the weathering. Thanks for being patient.

Good evening gentlemen,

I am calling this kit done. I will post some final pictures tomorrow. It has not been fully weathered as i am waiting to get a field gun for it to tow and to load it up with stowage.
