M3A1 HALF TRACK #2

M3A1 HALF TRACK #1

M3A1 Half track from Modelik is my next card build, in 1:25 scale. Kit and laser cut tracks were sponsored by the manufacturer. By the first glance the model looks easy and straightforward, but has a lot of components. This issue is actually a second edition of this vehicle, first one was published many years ago, without modern design, laser cut tracks (which make life easier and assembly quicker), or array of details available, including engine and full chassis. Before starting the build, I went to the museum to see the real thing. Impreial War Museum at Duxford, Tank Museum Bovington had one and a mobile artillery carrier version T - 48 (Su - 57) was found in Army Museum in Warsaw. All 3 were used as references for this build.
