Cookie used four kits and savvy scratchbuilding to model
a Howitzer Motor Carriage M8 and ammunition trailer the
way he wanted. But it was worth the trouble to tell the
story of how a Stuart-based M8 stood toe-to-toe with a
German Panther tank — and won!

Hi, i got a similar project for a m8 of the 2nd free french 2nd DB... the tamiya kit gives so much work.... How do you do for the fenders ????

Hi Walton, Sorry, for me it's just an idea for a future project inspired by an article in Finescale Modeler (January 2017 with part 2 in the February issue).
It's a kit-bashing exercise combining two Tamiya M8 HMCs (No. 35110); an AFV Club M5A1, late production (No. 35151); an AFV Club single-link T16 rubber track set (No. 35019); and a Tiger Model Designs resin kit of the M8's ammunition trailer (No. 35300).
I believe the fenders are the AFV Club kit parts.
