Happy to announce two new arrives to the range, the M5A1 Stuart & M8 Scott Gun motor carriage.
Both vehicles come with a selection of stowage, fuel drums and blankets etc so that they can be converted to your individual requirements. More to come soon! The Team at Blitzkrieg Miniatures |

Beautiful vehicles. Just vehicles or will there be infantry too? |

Houston, we have a problem… The M8s glacis plate and hull hatches are quite different than an M5, and I really think the turret and in particular the gun is oversized. Don't like to be a downer but sorry its its a bit hard to ignore |

Cool, I'll definitely get some of the Stuarts for my late war US armored stuff |

Second problem: The US Army never refer to the M8 as the Scott during WWII (and don't think they did even after). That said, the M5 is nicely done. |

I'll have some of the M5's for my Indo China French :-) |

Second problem: The US Army never refer to the M8 as the Scott during WWII Well, the OP referred to it as M8 Scott Gun motor carriage whereas it is actually a Howitzer Motor Carriage, but I didn't see either misuse as major problems with the model. OTOH the items raised by CCollins are indeed a lot harder to ignore… |

Their M8 model has a different hull from the M5A1 pictured above. |

Call me Mr Picky but Callans photo is still not right to me. You can clearly see two hatches under the gun mantlet that shouldn't be there and the turret doesn't look like its been cast, unless there was another version of the M8 I don't know about. The photo provided by CCollins appears to be a prototype as its machine gun ring is mounted well forward instead of towards the rear. |
