I checked out the Warlord Games M8/M20 and I was surprised to find that you can swap the turret with the 37mm gun and the gun ring on the M20. Just build 'em both and they can be swapped at the square base if you don't glue it. That makes it a very versatile model for different missions. There's one problem though. There's only one .30 cal and one .50 cal. MG. So if I build both uppers I'm going to need a 1/56 scale .50 cal MG from some where else. I don't have any bits that will work, so does anybody manufacture a 1/56 scale turret MG bit in plastic or metal. |

If you get the rubicon model it comes with at least 4 50cals |

PSC's 20mm .50 is so large you can use it for 25mm. TomT |

>>If you get the rubicon model it comes with at least 4 50cals<< I'd go that way, but with the warlord model it's possible to make both variants and swap them at the square opening. Is it possible to do that with the Rubicon model. |

Honestly I built mine as an M20 and then pitched the directions and spare parts so I'm not sure. From the look of these pictures it looks like you could just drop in either platform. You might have to fudge a few of the interior parts.There are only a few interior parts but they do differ link |
