The M-24 is pictured many times with the US paratroopers around December 44 . This made me finish these three that were made for years but not painted. No markings so easily adaptable for Cavalry or the light companies of the tank battalions. All models are Matchbox.
This a wargaming place were you can see a growing collection of miniatures and terrain of many historical periods in 20mm (but also a few 10mm,15mm and 28mm) started when I was 10 yo. At the moment it has several tens of thousands of miniatures from foot figures to Destroyers. Occasionally there are some war movie critics and some travel to military sites. My family considers it the best wargaming site in the World even if it is the only one they know. More on @joaopeixoto5249 YouTube Channel.

Rapid Fire! NW Europe 44/45 - Winter M-24 Chaffees
I used winter basing to go along some of the German stuff I have like the 26th Volksgrenadier Division.
Plenty of homemade stowage was added to the turret and rear of these tanks.
Only one Hasegawa crewman was added to the command tank of the company. The winter whitewash consists of very diluted white leaving unpainted some small areas, particularly hatches and moving parts.
Next: Dieppe starts.

Excelente trabalho como sempre, JP. Parece-me estar a reconhecer um dos M36 -:)

ReplyDeleteJP. nice editions to your Battle of the Bulge collection. I've always like the Matchbox Chaffee model.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I also have a few Pershings coming.
DeleteBrilliant! The best model of my favourite tank. Just one thing missing... Telly Savalas!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Teddy Savallas and maybe some 200 more actors who performed movies in Chaffees instead of the real thing :)
