This is how Columbia modified the M-8 to carry a flak mounting:

Feeding the dog's easy now my Greyhound can chop its own meat...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Could always swap the 4 x .50 cals for 2 x 20mm Israeli style:

Lost a bit of interest in the Greyhound as I cannot decide on fitout just yet.

Onward with the Quad Weapons Carrier as that is decided.
Small update, cab rebuilding

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Quad Weapons Carrier proceeds.

Cab and body work, still a few gappy tweaks to sort out


Mortar is on an arc mount to enable some traverse option, which is 3D printed. Playing around with ammo stowage options. I have the remains of the Tamiya US M3 Halftrack mortar kit part, so used parts of that for ready rounds. Used two left over tamiya universal carrier tarps, suitably cut and joined for the folded up tilt cover.

Italy campaign I think for this one
