M4 High Speed Tractor
(155mm/8-in./240mm)
Hobby Boss Kit No. 82408
1:35th Scale
Markings provided
The small decal sheet has just one M4 HST in the markings of
987th Field Artillery Battalion which saw action in NW Europe after D-Day and Korea.
These markings are based on this preserved M4 HST and come complete with
the personal marking "Little Bug". There is just one "Little Bug" image provided while the
preserved HST has it on both sides of the cab.
There are also some detail differences as the preserved HST has solid plate drive sprockets
and the early single large opening in the rear hull plate, both which differ from the kit parts
as well as having the post war rear view mirrors which are included in the kit.
I would appreciate any additional information on these markings if in fact real, thanks
