This are a must have for any WW2 or 1967 & 1973 wars. Build time is 10 minutes. Here are a couple of quick scans.

Gary,

You mention on your blog that you may use these for AIWs and that you are looking for infantry. Old Glory 15s do some in their Quality Casing range:

I'm looking to do '67, and these Arabs will not really work. I also think that QRF does some infantry.

Does anyone else know of others?

Thanks Mark, That is what I was looking for. The Syrians would be using soviet type uniforms all. As for the Jordanians a mix of US and British uniforms.

IIRC the Israeli halftracks were mostly M5s rather than M3s, so if you want to be accurate the rear hull corners would ned to be rounded off, and the fenders would need to be changed to sheet metal ones, rather than the rounded automotive style ones.

But if you don't want to go through the work, some M3s were acquired over the years.

Damon,

Cool link … maybe PSC will have the unique IDF MG mount as a part for their upcoming M5 HT. It is the mounting in place of the right windshield that is in a lot of the pictures.

PCS is going to bring out the M5's shortly. This would the ones made by IHC. The M5 when mostly to the Allies during the war. Looking at the Quality casting vehicles. I wonder how they would mix with the PCS. Thanks for the info Damon

Quick note for WW2 modellers…

In case anybody missed it when I mentioned previously, the MG pulpit needs to be trimmed for M3A1 as the armoured side extension was a feature of the M3A2 which saw no WW2 service.

I got a set at Salute, I indeed will be converting them into command vehicles for '73 IDF and will get the M5 set for the rank and file.
