The Wonderful World of Half-tracks!
Hello all,
I was hoping to see what the latest and greatest in half tracks is these days, as I'm attempting to spark interest in our club and get some projects rolling!
Idea : Clark board, possibly custom sounds & full combat capable. Might keep it as a light vehicle with MG only or as a lightly armored tank.
Role : Scout. Operator can roam freely about the field on foot, spotting 'hidden' tanks (this happens often at our field, lots of grass & camo schemes!), and directing fire.
So the issue lately is finding a good donor static kit (mostly German 250/251s), adequate gearboxes for them, etc. The best eBay has to offer in 1/18 are well over $100 now and are a tad expensive.
So, any ideas for hulls or gearboxes, allied or axis?
Input appreciated!
