Is there any manufacturer making M19 GMC anti-aircraft gun in 1/35?
If not, is there a conversion kit that I can use to convert M24 Chaffee tank into it?
Thanks.
No one out there makes one that I know of. You could combine an M42 Duster turret with a modified M24 Chaffee hull though. That is how the original vehicle was built.
Now that sounds interesting, Gino. I never studied the M24 and M19 specs but that sounds like a fun project. I have the Hunnicutt book and the TM on the twin 40mm system. Maybe a kitbash project for me in the future!!!

CMK makes an M19 GMC. It is a rather pricey resin kit. I’ve seen one once, and the resin looks good in the box, but I have never seen one built or examined it up close. Great Models lists it as “in stock” at $116.

Thnx Rob. I’d probably have to attend to that after the CSM M41 “Gorilla” 155mm HMC I just acquired too.
Post WW2 US armor is creeping into my livery…
I have the CMK model as Rob mentions above, for a commission build. It is pretty nice, and is a pricey miniature too. I debate to myself whether or not I’d spend that much on one for myself. I checked it out against the real vehicle, it is accurate and captures the prototype well, though. You get what you need to build a decent replica in the box, and good decal options. It calls for average experience with modeling resin multi-media kits.
Thanks for the info! Bit pricy, but I guess I may just have to suck it up and do it.
