diases Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Guys. I was thinking of joining the D-Day group build, and remembered from a distant memory the M-16 halftrack, I thought to myself, that it would be a nice little project, but my hopes have been dashed. Last version available in 1/35 (preferred scale) was a Dragon offering in 2008. I don't know if there is another option available in 1/35 (conversion sets, etc) It's a pity that a well known WW2 vehicle, is not represented in such a common scale. Anyone know of other vehicles that are not available, but should be. Who knows, a friendly manufacturer may be looking for future ideas. Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 You are forgetting the older Tamiya (in my stash) and Academy (never encountered so far) kits... https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?fkSECTION[]=All&q=m16+1%3A35&fkSCALE[]="1:35"&fkGROUPS[]="Vehicles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Back in April of this year, pictures were revealed of AFV Club's entry into the US half-track market. Now some say they can only do a 1% improvement over what is already out there (Dragon). The biggest issue I come across the Dragon kit is the use of rivets instead of slotted screw detail - if that is a deal breaker it could mean waiting some time for that perfect kit. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Gollin Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 . Re. D-Day, there are some "Funnies" not available, especially the AVRE with SBG Bridge ! (Also, a British armoured bulldozer and BARV). Also a Crane lorry would be useful. Likewise, lorry variants with specialist bodies, especially radio and REME. (And stretching the definition of "vehicle" a bit, then LCAs and LCTs would be useful (and huge) ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diases Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Cheers for the comments. Trawling the web a bit today, could not find the dragon/Tamiya kits for sale. But there could be good news with the AFV kit. As for 100% accuracy, definitely not a deal breaker. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
