What kind of boxes are these welded to the spare track holders on this Polish M4A1 and are they available in 1/35 scale



On a related matter

Who makes the metal 25pdr ammo boxes often seen welded to Polish and British Firefly Turrets?

Would you believe the pirogi stowage?

I had to look up pirogi Dave, and now I'm hungry

Hi Pat,

These look very much like the metal boxes used for the 3" mtr bombs. Acurate Armour have these in one of the accessories sets.

My thoughts anyway.

Cheers

You know I have to get a good one liner in once in a while.

Look like 25-pounders, maybe. I have some out of an old Verlinden set, but I'll bet someone else makes them better now.

Here's a link to an image on Armoured Acorn. You be the judge.

Look at the box in the middle.

Thanks Bob, I think they are 25 pdr boxes, I have some of the smaller ones from verlinden somewhere but does anyone make those big 8 cartridge boxes?

Alan would you know the code for the AA accessory set with the 3 in mortatr boxes?


Dave we now have a huge Polish immigrant population here in Dublin with Polish shops popping up everywhere so I'm going to track down some pirogi today.

hey,
IIRC,doesn't Tamiya's British 25 pder field gun w/limber ,come with the large ammo boxes?

I believe the old Italeri Accessories set number 407 came with a few, although they were missing the end recesses and carrying handles.

Hi Pat,

Kit number A051 British WW2 AFV Stowage set. It comes with several different metal ammo boxes, 2 of which are for the 3" mtr.

you can view it on the AA site.

Hope this Helps
