Mike,
You probably know this already but the .50 calibre was called the M8C if you need reference pictures.

Now I have settled down. I have some somewhere but have done a trawl on the interweb and come up with a couple.
Cheers,

Greg, Many thanks.
Ian, Just plodding along getting bits altered, but it is a good kit/conversion.

Update,
As it was a bit windy today, spent the morning watching various things flying down the street. Then decided to get some work done on the gun. Most of the work on the main gun is clean up and assemble. But not really happy with the .5 spotting gun. So decided to change the barrel as I said earlier, you have the cast one, then the breech slide/cocking handle detail was added. And on the other side of the body, the magazine slot was brought out with tome fine pewter strip. Other details added were the rear clamp for the body, and the front barrel clamp and adjusting bolts. A shroud was added where the barrel goes through the mounting and a cam pole tube with securing 'T' bolt was also added. The wheels are just plain as plain can be, but here i added the securing bolt cap, and the tyre valves. Still some work to do, but it's now rest the eyes time.
Cheers,
Mike.

I'm a little late to the party and once again you are pulling out all the stops on a very interesting subject. Loving the etch and great work so far Mike the Older type Sir Person!!!!

The US army experimented with "Shoot and Scoot" weaponry in 1940. This is what they developed for the use of the 57mm and 90mm recoilless "stove pipe" rifles,


Preliminary test proved the the "shoot" part was spot on, but the "scoot" aspect didn't work due to the shot blowing the head off the "scoot" mechanism. After a few tests, the project was dropped…………...….
