15mm M3 High Speed Tractor (Battlefield 3D)
Having acquired an 8″ US howitzer, I thought I’d get an equally extravagent tow for it. I vaguely thought about converting one of my spare Stuart chassis into a High Speed Tractor, but in the end I couldn’t be bothered and as I was ordering some stuff from Battlefield 3D anyway I put one in the order.
And here it is. Surprisingly inexpensive for quite a hefty moulding, a lovely detailed resin print and astonishingly, a one piece print which even includes the .50 cal MG printed on. Battlefielde 3D really are the best 3D printer I’ve found, if you don’t mind waiting a couple of weeks for the order processing. They are cheaper and better quality than a lot of their competitors.
No assembly required. It has lots of nice engraved panel lines, windows etc although the tracks are a bit crude. The running gear is very nice though. The roof is packed with tools as well – I’d never have managed that with a conversion.
You can see the racks of shells and shell cases stacked in the back section. I didn’t even notice them until I’d undercoated it.
It just got the usual OD paint job with a wash of Bronze Green and a drybrush of Iraqi Sand. The running gear is liberally plastered in mud. I’ve also noticed I forgot to paint the windows!
There, fixed it.
A nice model, but although it is nice to have, I’m struggling to think of when I might use it. But I’ve got one if I need it, and that is all that really matters.
