Jim, Hopefully now it should be plain sailing with only the detailing to go, mind you I still have the quad 50 to build yet.

Nothing like a real pain in the............to develop a bit of patience, I am feeling your pain as the one I am on at the moment is annoying me a bit as well. Your build is nothing short of brilliant mate.

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.

I am struggling to find some suitable crew figures.

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.
