M8E2 Munitions Carrier, US Army, 1/48 Aurora, Blast from the past.
I found this on ebay, along Aurora's MBT 70,[which I have already built]. The M8 was based on the M41 Walker bulldog chassis, It was developed in the 1950s. Don't no much more about its operational use.Now I have something to resupply the M109 Paladin.

great job...very cool iconic blast
Great build. Good to see you here Robert!
interesting creature - amazing what you can do when you just start plunking parts down on a chassis with tracks!

Nice blast Robert, brings back memories.
A very interesting looking vehicle. Looks really good.
Very well done, Robert.
The drawing on the front of the other box - the supposed "MBT-70" is the oddest version I've ever seen! The artwork is pure "what if" and not at all what the real MBT-70s (or even the XM-803) looked like. Back when Ft. Knox was the "Home of Armor," (don't get me started on THAT) there were about 4 or 5 MBT-70s/XM803s scattered around the place. I haven't been down there in years so I have NO idea if they're still there.
Great job, Robert!
Like almost everyone, I love seeing these old kits get built. 32nd scale Tamiyas are good for the brain, but these vintage kits hit the heart.
Great stuff, Robert.
