M42 Duster.....project?

[HaveBlue83]

Ok I wanted to make this for a possible build thread with an M41 Bulldog base unit.

I'd like to do this in honor of my Grandfather, who commanded one in the 1950s. He just passed away @93.

I have the files.......it can happen...





I have 2 casings from his...my Mother made one into a lamp. They were both polished and cleared. My uncle made a model of his tank years ago..mi now that he is gone, I have them, as I am the only living veteran of the family

The Duster looks like a nifty conversion. Go get ‘em!
Offhand, it looks as if you could use the Bulldog lower hull as is with the 3D printed upper hull, etc. That’s another way to get rid of the inaccurate M41 driver’s periscope and inaccurate side toolboxes. (Really, W. Walker should have taken a different Jeep and driver.)

[HaveBlue83]

Yes correct. Scale and print the upper hull and then the turret and cut the gun so I can make it move. I'd have to modify to fit obviously.

I just fixed my m41 's driver periscopes this weekend!

"I just fixed my m41 's driver periscopes this weekend!" Bravo! I still have not done so with either of my Bulldogs. But, then, I have such a backlog of projects I will have to go to www.thedeviliswaiting.com and set my clock back even farther.
