    When i joined this site one of my questions was:
    http://www.ww2f.com/weapons-technology-wwii/55098-what-towing-57mm-gun-maastrict.html

    I asked this to make a diorama about this picture. After you all found out it was a Dodge WC63 my quest continued to find the right stuff. But that was easier said than done. The problem was to find everything in the right scale.
    First i wanted to make all on 1/35 scale, but in that scale you cant find a US 57mm-gun at all. Only the british 6 pounder anti tank gun could be converted to US version. Other problem was finding patrolling US infantry without having to convert all figures to the poses quite similar as shown on picture. Also it would be a large diorama on 1/35 scale.
    But now finally i have my stuff together:

    MMS die cast models provided my Dodge WC 63 (restricted issue) and the US Drivers.

    and at Milicast i found resin US Infantry Patrol and finally the Us 57mm Anti tank gun.

    So now i only have to find a microscope to assemble and paint :)
