Armour
« on: February 23, 2021, 12:30:16 PM »
Hi Guys
Can anyone help. I'm looking for the size and thickness of the armour plate that goes between the back of the drivers seat and the fuel tank on an M3 Half Track.
Many thanks

Tony

I’ve just measured mine at 0.132” so I guess with a layer or 2 of paint it’s likely 1/8” thick which doesn’t sound much.
