Autocar Half Track with Mortar Gun

[Lee Drennen]

This is a 1/72 Italeri Half Track with Mortar Gun from the Hasegawa kit. I added some parts to convert the Italeri into this this Half Track. Enjoy the pics

Good idea for a conversion to update the model, but I feel the need to point out that the body is too long: the M4 was based on the Half-track Car M2, while the Italeri kit is of a Half-track Personnel Carrier M3, which was about 25 cm longer, or 3.5 mm in 1/72 scale. You also seem to be using the fuel tanks (which are of the type used in the 75-mm Gun Motor Carriage M3 and 81-mm Mortar Carrier M21 half-tracks) as the front lockers.

Sorry to have missed the start Lee. Just had a nice read through. The build is wonderful. The wet stuff certainly brings it all together. Looking forward to seeing the next update
