I'm with you Mark. I too am a halftrack junkie. Although we both are waiting with baited breath for the Trumpeter M16, I seriously doubt it will ever see the light of day. It was announced over a year ago, and other projects that Trumpeter announced afterword have since hit the shelves already. From what my sources tell me, the interest n 1/16 scale has fallen off, hence the "disappearance" of the M16. I think the project has been shelved. Guess I'm stuck with the resin parts to a 1/16th M3 that I will have to work into a M16. Either that, or make them into a M3 scout car.

You have to imagine it was the first Lord Eppie, not the one in the photos.

I am not a big stickler on historical accuracy in my modeling anymore. If it looks good, it's done.
