Description Extended Information
 
Corgi US60401 US M3A1 Half-Track - 41st Armored Infantry, 2nd Armored Division, Normandy, 1944 (1:50 Scale) "In war there is no second prize for the runner-up."
- General Omar Bradley

The best known American halftracks were the M series made as a standardized design by Autocar, Diamond T, International and White. The M series had a similar front end to the White M3A1 Scout Car but used more powerful engines: a 147bhp 6.3-liter White AX in the Autocar, Diamond T, and White, and a 143bhp 1HC in the International. Each version had four-speed gearboxes with two-speed transfer boxes and drive to the front axle as well as the tracked bogie. The M series halftracks were widely used by US forces in most theatres of the war, and were also supplied under the Lend-Lease Program to Great Britain, Canada and the Soviet Union. A total of 41,170 were made.

This particular 1:50 scale halftrack was used during the D-Day invasion and comes equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted atop the driver's compartment. Sold Out!

Historical Account: "Hell on Wheels" - As the 2nd Armored Division prepared for its breakout from Normandy, they camouflaged most of their combat vehicles in a spray-painted pattern of earth brown over the normal olive drab. Most of the white stars were also painted over, with the circle-star retained on the hood and the star on the radiator grill. The company letter and vehicle number is painted yellow on the side of the hull and rear to make battlefield recognition easier. "Daring" takes its name from the company letter.
