I know that someone makes,or made, a kit to convert the Italeri 105 to a 3 inch AT gun. Does anyone know who made it, I have been unable to find one.

TIA,

John

Hi John
Mine was done by KMC (OOP) also I know Warriors did one as well and I think Yanks (Not too sure on the last one). Look around the Hobby Shops online or around your town and see if any are still in production? If not give e-bay a shot.
Cheers

Warrior made the M6 3" anti-tank gun conversion for the Italeri M101. It is item number MW014 and retailed for around $40. I bought one several years ago for $20.

KMC actually produced 3 conversion kits:
# 35-1005 M2 105mm howitzer update set
# 35-1006 M10/M5 105mm Howitzer conversion set
# 35-1008 M6 3" Gun conversion set
You can convert or update Italeri's 105mm gun to either a 3" anti-tank gun, M101 or a M2 105mm howitzer depending on the set but all 3 sets do permit you to make a 3" gun of one type or another.
FYI. there was a problem with the #35-1005 instructions but they did include a correction sheet.
If you pick one up, make sure that the correction sheet's included.
Good luck.

Thanks everybody, looks like ebay for me. I was looking for something slightly different to tow with my M2 halftrack.
