My Dad drove these beasts around Germany while stationed there. He said they were a LOT of fun...
Other than us, I think the only other country to really make use of half tracks were the Germans. I could be wrong though...
Nice job on this kit, looks like I can jump in and take her around the block
Most of the halftracks you see around in the US (reenactors, etc,.) are M-9's, ex British, that went to Israel. AFIK the Israelis have retired theirs, but they may still have a few.
