discussion M16 Half Track...... Tamiya 1/35

[PaulTRose]

Bought this today and it's going straight on the bench..... Just washed the sprues

I follow a guy on YouTube who restores military vehicles and the other day he was working on a half track....Looked a simple almost agricultural vehicle

Shop had three different version, all for the same price.... Bog standard personel carrier, morter carrier and this anti aircraft one..... Seemed the most interesting and here we are lol

Will not be using the figures.... Don't like the pose of any of them

And can't complain about the rubber band tracks cos the real thing had one piece rubber band tracks lol

Great start so far Paul .

I’m always drawn to the AA stuff and the M16 is an interesting vehicle with plenty of variants…..bring it on

I’m always drawn to the AA stuff

Me too...... I have quite a selection in the stash I've collected over the years..... I've always had a plan to do a whole series of treble A stuff

Very nice - I keep meaning to pick up one of these Tamiya US half-tracks, they're really good looking vehicles.

Will follow along matey. I have had my eye on one of these for a while, will have to try one soon I think. Good luck with it....

Great choice. I built a Tamiya half-track a while ago.
US half-track, makes me think of Kelly's Heroes when one is driven out of the barn.
