new tracks for the Bandai Elefant, but I never saw a notice they had in fact been done, so I didn't get any. Needed four sets, too..... I have drawings of this I did for Matchbox decades ago, but I can also get you better drawings. I have tons of stuff for the M2/M3 HTs, but not really good plans with details. What I have will get the job done, but I don't think Tomioka ever did plans for the M2/M3 halftracks. God help you on the suspension - it's a BEAR..... The photos will tell all. Stay in touch on this....
Bruce, I just obtained a set of the tracks from "Track-48", they are available, but you have to request them from Meeta. The tracks are not listed in the catalog for some unknown reason, as I believe that others are looking for the tracks. Bruce also as a sideline off topic, I just picked up a Peddinghouse decal set for Shermans, and most of the decal set is armor from the Sherman in Action that you wrote. I don't know if you are aware of it. Cheers, Alan Vandam

...I don't have time to cast. The masters are fine and I have two sets of molds but alas, there they sit. If any of the a.m guys out there are interested in obtaining the masters and molds, let me know. If I do another run, I will need a block of four or five days free which I don't see happening until my nine year old makes it to the NHL !

Chris, if you head this way, there is a military cemetery in North York with an M4A2 76mm HVSS, a Bofors gun, a 25-pounder and a 17-pounder you can photograph, and, if you head on north for about 60 miles there is the tank park at Base Borden with a Wirbelwind, Panther, Ram tank and the 49th Hetzer produced amongst others
