Winter scheme half tracks
« on: June 14, 2023, 04:53:33 AM »
Devil requested I skin some winter German and Soviet GVs for a future event and these Lend Lease half tracks are the first of these. While the Soviets used both the M3 and M16 half tracks extensively no usable photos of any in a winter scheme could be found. So these generic winter skins will just be baked into the event terrain and will not be submitted for the MA. Later on I will make US Army winter scheme M3 and M16 skins for the MA, as well as summer scheme Soviet ones.

It is too bad you cannot change the gun skin on the M16, or was it intentional that you left it the default color?  I'm going to guess it is something you can't really do, or that it is a MAJOR PITA to do.

On the US winter camo'd M16s I have seen only the front armour of the turret was whitewashed, the magazines and turret mechanism were left olive drab, so I copied that with this skin. However I can paint the rest of the turret parts white if that is what Devil prefers.
