M3A1 AOP Scout Car Armour

[Big D]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the replies. What you have sent through is very interesting. I don't have many photos of the M3A1 AOP and I had yet to see one in the flesh that didn't have the rear bumper.

From that information and the photos you sent through it seems like some of these vehicles did not have the rear bumper. The vehicle in the photo you have attached certainly doesn't seem to have one.

Is it possible that the rear armour on the vehicle I have is not necessarily repro? Perhaps it was supposed to be like that with no attachments?

What is the easiest way to tell if it is armour plated?

Is there any chance of you emailing me the scanned file of the view of the back inside of the scout car please?

Cheers

Darryl
