This is a project I have been working on behind the scenes for Military Modelcraft International and will be featured in a future issue. The photos posted here were not submitted to the magazine, so I thought I would share them. The Hobby Boss kit is a lot better than the old M3A1 kit available under many different manufacturers re-boxing's but it still has some parts that are a bit over scale and clunky that I replaced with parts from kits that had more finesse.
The resin display base is a Celticwerks base and can be found on their products page, number CWS005. The foliage is from the Silflor range and while fairly expensive, looks the part when it comes to live plants. The figure is made up of some older Verlinden airborne soldier parts taken from the spares box. All the stowage was either scratchbuilt, or random pieces from the spares box and painted in place. Everything is painted in acrylics and weathered with AK Interactive enamels.
The build was loosely based upon a photo in a Steve Zaloga book, showing a camouflaged scout car providing support to the 82nd airborne in Italy, found on page 29 of Concords, US Tank Battles- in North Africa and Italy 1943-45.
