Time for another custom possibility.
Mr. Pierce brought this up today. He was the driving force behind the M-113 upgrade and the CIP panels as well as push me to doing the M-10.
He would love to have one of these tank destroyers.
The M3a half track can be used and they are still available.

Also the Kelly's Heroes 1/2 track is a 105mm Howitzer Motor Carriage. The models shown are 75mm Gun Motor Carriages. Different gun and shield.

I bumped this and put a poll on the post
Mr. Pierce really wants this and there will be a very good possiblility that it will be done.
In the not so near future.

I'm up for one.
FYI: The gun for the 75mm TD were recycled WW1 French 75mm artillery pieces added to the M3 halftrack as a stop gap anti-tank weapon at the start of WW2.
Hasbro made one in 1/6, but alas, the Hasbro is under scale. That don't stop alot of guys looking for one........ like me.
A 1/18 TD would suit me fine.
