CUSTOMIZED HASBRO
WWII M8 VEHICLE

By: Pointman


The first thing I did was dump was the ax and shovel that come with the vehicle. They are way too small. I covered up the place where they are supposed to be attached with a bed roll. The next thing to go was the tow cable. I wrapped some chain around the shackles in front, and it looks a lot better. Then I added a 30 caliber to gain a little height. I had wanted to do a pintle mount on the back of the turret, that mount be standard on the first M8's, but there just isn't enough room. The 30 caliber is a combination of the 21st air cooled and water cooled guns. I also replaced the 30 caliber barrel next to the main gun, the one that came with it was way too small. The whole thing then got a paint job and bedrolls, packs, crates, etc. were added.

I think on my second one I am going to see if I can remove the mud skirts and added a ring mounted 50 caliber. I would like the two of them to be different. -- Pointman








Awesome work Pointman! Your customized version looks 100% better than the original. I loved all the things you added to it. Some really outstanding work all around! Special thanks for sending these great shots in and sharing them with us. -- GL
