Hi Nick, some more images of the M917A3





I would prefer a newer CAT Grader in scale.

I’m sure you have some. Now I know to pay more attention to things like that. I pass kilometers of motor pools with similar items every time I’m at Fort Cavazos or Fort Carson.

My husband was a gunner in the above M915a1 during OIF II. 2004-2005. The truck was manufactured by AM General, powered by a Cummins in 1983.

I was one of the mechanics (in the group photo)

Hello Tara!
I say that’s about the best modelling there is… Not only you’re doing it for somebody dear to you, but also you build a model of something you know really well! Congratulations and thanks for sharing, have a nice day

Tara, that is a nicely build model and diorama for your husband. I love the folded flag. Also, glad to know two of the gun trucks in the magazine are part of your former platoon. I like the Heavy Metal label in the back and how the letter “T” has been shown.

Thank you.
We (our VFW) taught flag etiquette to a pre-k through 8th grade private school. One of the pre-k students folded that flag for us. I thought it would make a great addition to his diorama.

I’ve really been enjoying posting here.
Thanks so m much!
Have a great day
