Dragon is working on a new M3 version from the Israel Defense Forces. After the standard M3 halftrack and one featuring Nord Aviation SS.11 wire-guided antitank guided missiles, a third one is now available, this time fitted with a TCM-20 antiaircraft gun.
Similar to the American M16 halftrack with Maxson M45 quadmount, Israel replaced the four original .50-cal M2 machine guns with a pair of 20mm Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannons, which proved effective in combat operations.
Most of these guns came from obsolete Israeli aircraft. They were used in a couple of major conflicts, and they even soldiered on in Israeli reservist formations until the 1980s.
In the vehicle’s rear fighting compartment is a brand new rendition of the TCM-20 antiaircraft weapon system, with the cannons and mount being intricately detailed. Additionally, there is a plethora of photo-etched parts for the kit to portray metal components, jerry cans rack, headlight guards and tool brackets.
This fascinating M3 halftrack is just bristling with devastating 20mm firepower suitable for either antiaircraft or ground duties.
