Finally got around to using the other 75mm gun from the Rubicon Expansion kit , here’s a 251D-9 . You get both the 251  C & D upper hull in the expansion kit with the gun mount replacing the co driver’s visor . I added a driver from Rubicon’s 250 kit , the gunner comes with the 75mm gun kit as does the ( headless !  ) loader  .

Rubicon’s half tracks come with both a full and half tarp roof cover , since I’ve used both already on 2 of my tracks , I cut this one back a bit ( razor saw & miter box ) just to look different and leave some space for the loader and maybe a commander figure.  I guess  should be called Axis & Axis as the other tank I finished is a Japanese Type 97 Chi – Ha . I built this as a scenery piece , so I depicted it as being knocked out with blown open transmission hatches and just the commander’s arm in view in the hatch . I still need to make a scenic base for it , but as my basing material has hardened in the package  ( note to self , double seal air dry clay ) it will have to wait for now . Probably end up giving this to a buddy who plays Japanese

You can build either an early 57mm version or the later 47mm larger turreted version with revised upper hull from this kit , and no you can’t build both turrets  and swap the them around , you only get one commanders cupola , 2 of 3 needed machine guns and only one driver’s front plate . So much for my idea of a buried tank hull type pill box
