Alright guys, let's see if anyone can help me out. I am interested in finding kits of WWII U.S. anti-tank guns in 1:35. Mainly looking for the 57 mm, and the 3" guns. Anyone know if there are kits out there? I saw in FSM last Nov , a conversion for the U.S. M6, 3" gun in the Verlinden ad. I can't seem to find it listed on the web. I would like to know what kit this conversion works with, and if it is indeed a WWII peice. Thanks.

BC, thanks a million. Learn something every day. I didn't know the 57mm was actually the Brit 6 pdr. The 3" conversion was the same one I saw in the VLS ad. Next question.. What kit is the conversion for? Does anyone out there know? Has anyone used it? Thanks again.

The base kit for this project is Italeri kit number 319 M2A1 105mm Field Howitzer.

There was a very nice build up of this project by Steve Zaloga. It was in Military Modeling within the last year.

Later,
Tim
