Ron Bell Posted December 29, 2012 Report Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) Here's the Monogram halftrack with dual M/G turret. They bill it as an M-16, but the M-16 had a quad mount. This is more of an M-13, which was a dual mount. The kit went together surprisingly well, but you did have to pay close attention to the instructions to get things in the right place/alignment. The figures were sort of in between the early deformed variety and the later nicely molded ones that came with the various German MkIV variants. However, the three seated in the halftrack needed modification unless you wanted to build the vehicle around them, because they weren't going in after assembly the way they were. The two in the front lost their feet and the guy in the turret was considerably slimmed down to slide into that thing. Now, on to the M-4 Hedgehog. Edited December 29, 2012 by Ron Bell
802chrisg Posted December 30, 2012 Report Posted December 30, 2012 Ron Thanks for sharing this. I have just about all the old Monogam armor kits in my stash. Every once in awhile when I need a break from PE and detail kit builds I pull out one of these old kits and build it. What a simple joy this is and brings back memories of building these kits on my back pourch as a kid with tube glue and a hobby knife. Chris
