As I child I used to make some model airplanes but my mother threw them away when I was in college. 🙁

Thanks again my friends I am building it as part of a group build for a 1/48 scale military vehicle site A group build is a themed base build This one is half tracks

No American half tracks are made in this scale yet 🙁

😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Too bad no American models of half tracks are available. 🙁
😀 😛

I hope so, too, so you can assemble them. 😀 😛

You are most welcome.

Too bad there arent any Ameircan Models yet. 🙁

I wouldn't have the patience to assemble any models now.

The track area on American half tracks have a lot of small detail It may be hard to replicate in good detail on 1/48 scale 😀 😛

I use to do model airplanes as well. 😀

[milagros317]

I see why that would make those models more difficult to manufacture.
😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

Yea that would make those models more difficult to manufacture.

Here is one part of the track area It's a driving wheel for the tracks

😀 😛

That close-up shows what small parts (like lug nuts) they reproduce in the model.

Wow. Fantastic detail my friend. 🙂

Us modelers finally have some detailed M2 and M3 series US half tracks in 1/35 It took a long time for a company do to them right 😀 😛

I wish they'd make them in 1/48 scale 😀 😛

Why is that scale better? 😀 😛

im a big fan of actual scale

this is such a great thread with great pictures

1/48 scale is smaller than 1/35 Cheaper as well 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Hopefully more 1/48 scale models will be available when they realize that is what the hobbyists want. 😀 😛

The kit makers are slowly making more 1/48 kits 😀 😛
