mnwildpunk Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 A few years ago I was wandering around my uncles (as he calls it scrap yard) and took pix of this today I was watching a movie and saw the same style half track not after research I think its an international. M3 can anyone confirm or deny that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Looks like an M3 to me. Here's a wikipee article about it and the IH M5. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_Half-track Edited November 22, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 From what I can see of the front fender, it looks more like the International M5 than the White M3. This is what the Monogram half-track kit is. IIRC most of the Internationals went to Russia while we used the Whites. Is it fairly complete? Enough of it there to restore? Restored, it could be worth as much as a good vintage musclecar. Hell, it's got a good deal of value just as it sits. This is a VERY cool thing you have!

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) M3 Roundish fenders... M5, more square fenders... Based on that, yours does indeed look like an M5. Edited November 22, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impcon Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Oh, but that is sooooooo sweet!!! Now THAT deserves to be totally restored as there can't be very many of those left! It looks fairly complete based on what can be seen of it. No doubt there is someone somewhere who would really like to buy it and give it the love it deserves. Do you have any other photos of it? Does your uncle have any other neat stuff like that? It's good that someone preseved it as opposed to cutting it up for scrap and the almighty dollar.

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Looks like there's the nose of a shoebox Ford sitting on it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Easy to find if you take the time to check Google or eBay. Kits available from 1/72 to 1/6, but not in 1/24-25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Kits available from 1/72 to 1/6, but not in 1/24-25. I think all those, except the Monogram, are of the White M3 (or variants such as the M16). The Monogram, in 1/32, is the only IH M5 I know of. Shouldn't be too hard to do a White to IH conversion if one wanted, though. Squadron has a nice book with good drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
