1/35 MONTAGE DE F-X M32 Deminage
Posté : mer. 26 juin 2024 19:02
Je me permets de poser la les travaux de notre rebelle de F-X qui n'a toujours pas remis en route son accès.. (j'abandonne de ce coté)..
Donc un petit M32 déminage basé sur le kit et conversion suivante:

Je n'ai qu'une photo avec ce type de châssis.. donnée en Italie.. qui serait un recyclage d'une caisse grandes trappes.
En général ce son des M4 ou M4A1 petites trappes que l'on voient dans les unités US.

While it is possible that some of the 91 new production PSC M4A1s converted to M32B1s could have had large hatches, we have yet to see any evidence supporting this. In 2008, a set of “GI photographs” surfaced showing a large hatch M32B1 in Germany shortly before or after VE Day. Tactical markings show that the vehicle was with Service Company of the 20th Tank Battalion, 20th Armored Division. A portion of the Registration Number (1) beginning with 40155 can be seen in one of the photos, which is outside the range allocated to the vehicles converted from the 91 new M4A1s (40149307 to 40149397) confirming that this retriever was instead one of the 384 M32B1s converted by PSC from used M4A1s. This retriever can be seen with the spare drive sprockets mounted on the hull side as per the standard stowage configuration (2), the door type turret port (3), frame type tool fitting on the fenders (4) and the adaptor platforms for the mortar feet (5), all later style fittings introduced after the retrievers built on the 91 new PSC M4A1s had been completed. Note that the hull does have thickened sides indicating it was manufactured with the cast in hull armor (6). Large hatch M4A1(75)s were pretty rare. Our research suggests that about 100 of the 175 M4A1(75)s produced by PSC in December, 1943 had them.

Dans ces commentaires il signale la difficulté a bien aligner les rouleaux et le poids total de la conversion qui s'est détachée 3 fois..!!
Il a rencontré des soucis pour l'imitation des câblages de la girafe et a finalement utilisé du fil a gigot de boucher..!!
