This is from the Takom kit 1/35. This was the 2nd version released which mounted the larger gun. Early version only had a 50 and 30 cal.
Though this vehicle served briefly in Vietnam, I chose that time frame. It ended up serving in Europe in the early 70s before being decommissioned. I did learn something interesting about the real tracks. They were rubber band type like the old M3 Halftracks but with imbedded steel cleats.
The kit is very detailed with some really fidley parts for tweezer use. This one took a lot of patience. I painted with lacquers and enamels and filtered and weathered with oils.
