| Details:
Between October
1942 and December 1943 a total of 509 of the now almost
redundant petrol M3's were converted to the M31 TRV's
with a further 300 diesel types later converted as the
M32B1 & B2.
They were
used on all fronts from late 1942 by the US Army and
were also supplied in small numbers to the British and
Free French. Some were also used by the Canadians in
Italy.
In late 1943
133 M31's were converted to the Prime Mover role for
heavy artillery and were redesignated as M33.
In
June 2006 we simplified the construction of this kit
by reducing the number of parts by moulding them in
situ. The result is a more easily constructed model
but still retaining all the detail you would expect
from a Milicast Premier kit.
