This is a 28mm scale model of the American M-16 Motor Gun Carriage. It was supplied to other allied nations, and was used post war in Korea and many "bush wars".
I started with my previous file of the M-5 half track, and

  • squared off the back to resemble the M-3 half track model

  • created "cut outs" on the side and rear of the  H/T which  allowed for weapon traverse

  • added detail and hinges for the drop side flaps on the sides and rear

  • raised the floor on the back of the half track

  • added storage boxes to rear exterior

  • created the seven piece gun turret (please see the pic on assembly notes)

  • added "bolt" detail to the hull

I added a screen shot of Tinkercad showing how the "turret" and guns assemble. It is mirrored for the other side

Use 0.1 mm "fine" for all printing EXCEPT the "gun pack"; use "extra fine" - 0.06mm on Cura - for the gun pack.

I was happy with the design but not the test print. I had run out of my normal grey PLA+ and had to use a black PLA... which stringed an incredible amount and was difficult to clean off because it was black and hard to see... until it had been painted... lesson learned; the black PLA has been demoted for use in terrain pieces only.

Also, it was pointed out that my choice of model nationality is in error, only the M-17, based on the later M-5, was supplied to the Soviets. This model with have to soldier on as a historical enigma. I wanted to offer the M16, as it was produced in the highest numbers and saw the broadest service among nations. Had I produced the M17, it would mostly be historically accurate for Soviet players.I only field Soviet and UK armies, so I thought I would try to get some table play out of the test print painting it up as a Soviet AFV. Hey, it's still not as bad as the tanks in "Battle of the Bulge".

The "turret" fits on the protrusion in the H/T bed, and pivot well.
