HA! Now you can build a diorama of the M8 that took out a Tiger I in 1/16 scale!
(I’m not sure if it’s true or not but there’s a story of an M8 that got a rear hull shot on a Tiger I and brewed it up.)

No radio?
Looks amazing! I’m hoping someone will do this in 1/24th-with this kind of accuracy and detail!

I hope an M20 is down the pike soon. The M8 looks very nice.

That should be almost a given since the parts similarities and Andy doing similar releases like that.

At that scale you can even model the spare shorts the M8 crew needed after that encounter!

I have quoted that story for years until I started to find WW2 ordnance tables that show it was 99.9% impossible. I recently found this site that includes a page from a British penetration chart showing the 37mm APC M51 chance of poking holes in Tiger Is and Panthers at 0, 30 and 60 angle-off.
Considering the penchant for US troops to consider every panzer a Tiger, I can believe they killed a Panzer IV. I still like the David v Goliath story, though.

I’ll be interested in seeing what 3D items AFV Modeller will make to improve on the kit.
