In Band of Brothers Episode 8, at about 11:40 into the episode, there is something that looks like a canabalized tank driving past Lt. Jones. Does anyone know what this is supposed to be?
M29 Weasel … here’s a pic of one with a crew cover on it
And another with the lid down
Which province are you in Smith M ?
According to my RP Hunnicutt Bradley book, that’s the early production cargo carrier M29 Weasel. Monogram used to have a kit of the M29C Amphibious Weasel which looks quite different from the early M29 pictured above. They reversed the engine compartment (from front to rear) and gave the C a boat shaped hull.
Thanks for the help. Oh and I live in Alberta, around Edmonton.
Take a little drive one day down to Wetaskawin, they have a couple of them at the “original” Reynolds Museum (not the Government owned one). They also have a few other interesting pieces laying around. Mr. Reynolds was quite the packrat.
