I have never done a gun truck before ( only 1/35 tanks + 1/48 planes).

I would like to do a 1/35 scale WW2 gun truck, any nation. Any suggestions for my first gun truck?

Thanks

Has to be the Tamiya 2.5 ton 6x6x cargo truck. Goes together like a dream and looks great!

Start saving up those spare .50cal MGs from other kits.

Masters of France does a 40mm bofers conversion for the Tamiya GMC kit. There kits are normally very good. What the price in the States would be I am unsure of.

You might want to try the M-16 quad 50 gun half track. It was the "grandfather " of todays gun trucks. If you want to build a more modern truck you could build one of the AFV Club 2 1/2 ton kits. Either the Nancy quad truck or any one of over 500 variations of trucks from the Vietnam era. Or even one of the newer ones on the M-900 series trucks in Iraq.
