M13 or M16 in 1/72?

RJ, in 1/72, the only option I have found is the Academy M3 halftrack and the M16 conversion kit from ModellTrans. The Academy kit is OOP and hard to find, the conversion kit is available, Tracks & Troops is one dealer showing it avaiable.

There is one Academy kit listed on ebay at the moment, the seller is in the UK. Price aprox. £25. With shipping, that puts it at about $60. for me here in the US. A mite too pricey for me.

In 1/76, there is the Revell (Matchbox) plastic kit and a resin kit from Milicast.

Just a FWIW, I am finding that although there are some great kits being released in 1/72, not many fit my interest of US and UK WWII vehicles. There is a much wider range in 1/76, though mainly in resin.

Hey Jim F, I saw something on Amazon that I could use as the twin .50. There is actually a 1/72 M13 MGMC - though it's built already. It's only $7.00 + shipping.

So if I wanted to, I may look other places for an academy kit, or other manufactures of this vehicle, then I could attach the gun to the carriage - though I'm thinking this would be hard for a modeller who's been at the hobby maybe 2 years.

Probably not that simple...

Happy Modelling,
