WC 52 3/4 ton
$4.50
The American military entered WW2 with the backing of the world’s largest motor vehicle manufacturing base. We are all familiar with the ubiquitous ¼ ton jeep and the 2 ½ ton “Deuce and a half”. One vehicle often overlooked is the Dodge ¾ ton Weapons Carrier. This vehicle served on all fronts as well as being supplied to the Red Army as part of lend lease.
In addition, early in their participation in the war the Americans produced the M6 Motor gun carriage; the M 6 wheeled tank destroyer consisting of the Dodge weapons Carrier with a 37mm anti tank gun mounted facing the rear. These were produced in the thousands and saw service in north Africa and the Pacific theatre.
This package consists of separate folders with .stls specifically for both FDM and resin printing. It has been updated from the previous file, now with separate wheels for the resin file, and a driver figure for resin printing.
Three weapon options for each are provided: a pintle mounted MMG, a pintle mounted HMG and the light ATG (M6 Tank Destroyer) mount. All are mounted on a small base allowing them to be easily place in and removed in the print
Please check printing notes for both print set ups.
FDM:
Print at fine setting with supports “everywhere”.
Remove supports carefully and test fit before applying glue. The lower suspension piece fits tightly into the upper hull, so be patient.
Take your time removing the support from the ATG gun shield. There is a gun sight that can be harmed. When fitting the gun barrel through the shield it is a tight fit but take you time and it will fit. There is a small notch in the gun mount that fits into a recess on the bottom of the gun barrel.
Resin:
Please note that the steering wheel has support on the lower part of the wheel. It will not be visible in use, but in test printing I found the steering wheel too easily broken when removing supports post print, so I erred on the side of caution by adding the reinforcement.
The Driver figure needs to be placed carefully, but fits in the the photos.
** Please note the “spare wheel” is different from the drive wheels; so please be sure to print and glue it appropriately.
There are files included for both resin and FDM printing
- Your results in FDM require fine settings, with full supports.
- Please note the pre-supported files for resin printing may not be ideal for your printer, resin, or settings. They are provided as a courtesy only, and while they worked well for me, your results may vary.
- Always clean support material away carefully and test fit before gluing.
