if I’m not mistaken if you use this half track with a British force you don’t get to use the 30’s, and I see you don’t have the option to use it as a mortar carrier, but I think it would be easy to convert, same goes for the Anti Tank version both of which would be in the heavy weapon platoon of an infantry company.

FOW miniatures and Sabaton hoodys. Its just like home

The personal carrier version of the half track with the mg ring is called the M3A1 . The IH version with mg ring was called the M5A1 . Most of the IH half tracks being classified as non standard by the US Army went to the Brits and Canadians as lend lease vehicles . ( the gun tow vehicle , was the M2 { M2A1 with mg ring } , the IH version called the M9A1 as all had a mg ring )

As one of the guys complaining: thanks for actually building a model! It reveals once again that BF needs to update their box content photos – if I’m not mistaken, the halftrack shown there is the older resin/metal version. The same goes for the infantry IIRC. Would do them great service, since the plastic models are better defined and look rather stunning. Having assembled an Airborne platoon from starter box models (basically the same minis), I’d say these are some of the best 15mils around. Again, I’m very pleased to see John back in service. A real geek, your knowledge… Read more »

A nice show. I like the amount of historical information provided in the video. So actually it is not only a unboxing video but also a small lecture on history. Thumbs up guys.

Again a great unboxing. Very nice details on the International and White Motor companies I didn’t know about. On the model and in your information. The BF stuff looks much sturdier than the PSC stuff. PSC is cheaper but it also breaks and cracks really easy. So you have more repairwork when you travel a lot with your army.
I like all these new plastic kits from BF.

Just not a fan of 15mm.

Excellent video, amazing depth of knowledge, very informative.
