Re: M2 A1 scout car build starts
I know the purest are gonna give me gluff over the updated M3 front windshield I'm cutting out without the glass being up front, that's a mod that was changed in late 1940, also gonna use the smaller headlights that mount to side of nose and not fenders.

Re: M2 A1 scout car build starts
Details started on doors, by the way the windshield you see clamped on is just a mock for scale. And not the one that goes on her.it is just for scale and is not even at right angle. We have cut the right one out, and will soon be put on. The M2A1 has a steep angle back as seen in next photo
