Re: Finally a 1:35 M37 Model!

Here's some of the kit partially assembled... I haven't had much time to spend on it as I've been trying to get a couple of barrels machined for my M1917A1 watercooled and get the real thing (M37) dug out in the garage... :shock: Just a little update on the kit... and because people might check here...

Re: Finally a 1:35 M37 Model!

Take all the parts off of the plastic frame and spread them around randomly in a doll house garage and you'd have an exact replica of my truck! :mrgreen: :lol: :roll: I have enough of a problem cutting the parts off and not losing them on the floor... Makes me want to work on the real thing... I'll...

Re: Finally a 1:35 M37 Model!

Picked one up myself... Had to have it... think it will be a little bigger than the paper model... Will post pictures of the kit later today for you guys...

Axle assemblies...

Last summer I picked up a couple of axle assemblies and will be stripping them down for spare parts... Is there any benefit to saving the housing...? I'm going to pulling all the obvious parts I originally just bought them for the drums and extra brake hardware at $30 a piece plus gas from another M...

Re: Radio installation VRC-16,17,18 3/4 Ton M37

I got my RT-68 to receive a signal over the weekend I need to work on the R110 now... Made me a cheesy dipole antenna out of some wire I had left over from a job for 10$ in connectors... Everything looks like it's good to power up so hopefully my full set will be operational soon... Now I gotta get ...

I just got a few things through there... They had good service... You do have to either use paypal or pay by check or money order... No Credit Cards... Yeah it's time to get stuff while you can... No one really finds any value in the old Tube Radios so... They are heavy and bulky... but they do have...

10-4... I'll keep an eye out... They seem to be bit harder to find than the RT units... This one is a little rough and I'm not sure what I'm going to find when I go through it... Hoping it powers up...
