I am looking for information on the T30 75mm HMC. In particular information on the T10 special mount used for the 75mm Pack Howertzer for the M3 Halftrack. I have consulted the normal Halftrack books, but there are not good pictures of the mount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Thanks Delbert. That' helps me get a little better idea of what it looks like. Really wish there were more close-ups.

Again thanks.

Hi Dave, looking forward to another one of your halftracks! Does "normal books" include Hunnicutt's? If not, I can have a look and see what it offers.

Cheers!

Yes Stefan. I looked in Hunnicutt's and all of the squadron, osprey, etc. My problem is that there are no good closeup, all around pictures of the special T10 mount. What I guess I need is to find someone who has access to technical manuals, etc., or a real one. Not even sure one still exists. I would hate to just "wing it," but that may happen.

I do have one possible break, because my friend Spuds has an old AEF conversion for the Tamiya kit that I may be able to get measurements off of.

Dave:
Try TM9-1326 M3 105mm w/ carriage's. This manual breaks down all of the parts & components. It's available for PDF download. Hope that helps. Todd

Hey Todd. Thanks for the information. I actually used that TM when I was working on the project. It is now complete and on a diorama.

here are a couple of pictures of the completed project.







Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Dave
