Hello,

I have finished the model Halftrack with Bofors gun.
It is my conversion M-16 Tamiya with Bofors Italerii.

Very Nice. I've never seen that one before. I like the way you did the rust effect.

VERY NICE!
Is that a series produced vehicle or a field modification? I really like it.

Hi,

In my opinion it is field modification.

Thanks!

Nice job on the scratchbuild Gulumik!!
It's definitely a field modification,
According to Squadron's M3 Half-Track in Action, the Cooper Plains 99th Ordnance Depot in Australia converted a quantity of Half-Tracks to carry the 40mm Bofors.
The M3 and maybe some M13 were used for the conversion.
Cheers

Who says only the Germans came up with unusual vehicles in the war? I like it, very nice work on the combination!
