Well shit Jesse...
I was so busy plodding along making this thing from scratch I forgot all about that option. I wasn't thrilled about making the roller, gear shifters, fenders, etc. anyway.. . SO.. it turns out the news is really good. The black bed you see will easily fit right on top of the back frame of the 21C M3A3 after you remove the existing bed. I can make chairs, or you can scratch build them using the seats from the halftrack. You really just need two extra tires, the skate rail and a the rest of the fender. Those parts I have in the works anyway.
And.. the 21C Half-track was really an amazing model. The hood opens with engine, all of the windows, doors, and shields work, even the freakin benches in the back open up which I just now discovered, so while it's a shame to sacrifice one it's an even better idea to lend all of that detail to an even better scout car I say.
My big question is how close are the M3A1 Scout Car and M3A3 Half-track front end? They both originated from the same M2 Scout Car design, but was there anything significant that happened to them along the way to make them different at all?
I realize for some that may not matter, but I'm curious.
So that being said. Jesse, would you be willing to work with me to try to do this? I'll butcher a half-track as well but it would be helpful having someone a little further away from the factory trying to make one to tease out anything I miss.
Normandy the good news is that this may be time saved and spent on a different project or two.
