I know this subject has probably been beaten to death but I'm wanting to do an M1A1 (M114) with its prime mover. The unit I want to depict is the 113th FA, which I know did not have HST' but used trucks. Am I going to be limited to the Diamond 968A or could a White 666 be a possible candidate?

BTW the 30th Infantry Div site has some great research materials for anyone that might be interested.

I believe he Diamond T was the 155 howitzer prime mover.

and I stand corrected. I misread some AAR' from the time period; the 113th did indeed have HST' to tow their 155'. Unfortunately they are M5'

Hey Hobby Boss what would it take for you guys to do an M5

Thanks, found it and put it on the watch list. Damn expensive but the only game in town.
