Hi all,

I am looking at a couple of halftrack projects in Europe.  They are ones where full restoration would be required and would need repro armour.  BAIV do indeed supply repro armour for the Internationals.  It is quite a bit more expensive than the M2/M3 armour though.

I'm curious though about the US use of International halftracks in Europe during WW2.  I know most of these went to lend-lease.  Does anyone have any links to sites that show US units using the International that I could check out?  It might seem like a minor detail but if possible, I'd prefer to get something which could be legitimately painted in US colours with US markings.

Thanks.
Cheers,

Darryl Lennane
