WW2 1/56th scale U.S. M5 3inch Anti-tank gun

 This is a monster of a gun compared to the smaller 6 pounder anti-tank gun though not as effective, it comes with crew of 4, it should have the potential of punching through any armour in the open, especially seeing as the tiny Panzerfaust was capable of knocking out any WW2 tank! 








The M5 was issued exclusively to U.S. tank destroyer battalions from 1943. I'll be using the M3 halftrack as its tow vehicle, it saw service in Italy and Northwest Europe notably at the battle of the Bulge.  

Next will be the 2nd Infantry squad, then on with the Germans while I wait for the U.S. halftracks to be delivered from the manufacturer.  

All the Best and Happy Painting,

Peter.
