1/35 Hobby Boss M4 High Speed Tractor.  Towing Long Tom, for the purpose of.  It has rubber band tracks but I have an inkling a set of individual links for a Stuart might be made to fit.  But first, I shall see if anything can be done with the left over Panzer IV track links lurking under my bench.

Mate the M4 HST used M4 Sherman tracks ..Stuarts are far to small and annoyingly I haven't found a set of AM M4 tracks which haven't sucked  :banghead:
Now converting to P IV would be very interesting  :wacko:

What I read said the M4 was based on the M2 light tank chassis.  The M2 became (I think) the M3 and M5 Stuart.  The running gear on all four (M2, 3, 4, and 5) look very similar.
But i'm going to play with the P IV links first.  You never know.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I've got my part started one out of the "box of shame" and I'll give it another go when I'm back from Brussels in a couple of weeks. It is a lovely airplane for sure.

Yep yep 👍...pretty much on the money there but 😆
The M4 HST is nearly twice the size of the M5 HST but M3 tank tracks will fit a M5 where as the M4..no ways close ...similar in looks..yes..size wise ..nope  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .
