The main vehicle is now pretty much done the pioneer tools and details have been picked out. I scratched an antenna mount and added a copper wire spring to bend the antenna whip forward. I also ran a cable from the base to the radio set.
Next to start on the quad 50. I will add stowage later when I have had a look at what I have and what I need to make.
I am struggling to find some suitable crew figures.
Sorry a bit picture heavy.
comments bot good and bad welcomed.

Unless you mean figures to show the vehicle in action, any US Army figures appropriate to the period should do, really, other than ones dressed in paratroopers’ or tankers’ uniforms. You can easily use figures intended as infantrymen, for example, because these halftrack crews were equipped and dressed much the same.
By the way, if you want to add an interesting detail, equip one of them with an M1903 Springfield rifle with grenade launcher — it’s not widely known that these AA halftracks carried one of those and a supply of rifle grenades for self-defence.
Thanks Mick.
Cheers mate, I will look around again. I will have a look for the rifle with grenade.

Just a Springfield with a tube on the end of the barrel would do, which you could add from a few bits of plastic rod and strip:

Wow looks so real... superb
I hope so mate but still a lot of build left.
Thank you mate glad you like it.
G
You can post as many photos as you want Paul, love looking at the detail.
Fantastic work Scottie.
I like what Steve Zaloga does with a model this good when he uses just one or two figures to add interest but not divert attention from the vehicle.
Alpine do a few which would suit the M16.
