DML have finally listenned to the agonised and frustrated screams of Allied modellers and put their skills of UBER KIT design into a state of the Art 2 - in 1 kit of a US M2/M2A1 Halftrack. Modellers have been after a Half track of any persuasion since the early 70's when Tamiya managed to do a kit of a prototype M3A2. This really lifts the bar and will be well recieved. Given the range of 251 kits that followed its release I don't think we have seen the last of DML's Half tracks.

Follow the link and pay attention to the pics of frames - I can see M3/M3A1 sidewalls...

VERY nice looking kit! The M2 HT may be the most obscure 'common' U.S. vehicle out there. I wonder how many will buy the kit then be surprised there's no rear door! Let's hope we eventually get a Russian SU-57 (a.k.a. Lend-Lease 6 pounder) HT out of the deal.

The M3/3A1 will follow on to this and as Palic mentions you can see the M3 sprues in a few of the online pics. Both will be extremely welcome and I wonder how long before we see M4 Mortar, M3 75 SPM, 105 mm GMC, T30, T28 Spaag, M15,m16 Spaags, M21 Mortar, M9, M5, etc ?

With the Sherman III (M4A2 with Cast hoods) and the Tarawa M4A2 (Mid with Welded Hoods), followed by the Firefly 1c Composite it is shaping up to be a good last quarter of the year.
