Help!!!. The fold down armour hinges, are they available to purchase any place, I understand they could be the same as the halftrack/WC?. Also the top gunner swing down armour piece, patten and drawings please or better still a genuine one?.

G'day Kevin and Nick,
Sorry to tell you this, but the hinges you are after are nothing like those on the M3A1 White Scoutcar or the Half-track.
Scoutcar and halftracks hinges are much more rectangular and the left and right sides have 2 tangs each for the pin to go through. Yours have two short ones on one and one long one on the other.
Regards Rick

We have had some of these hinges cast in brass. Average quality but with a little filing & cleaning up they look spot on. Could find out a price if anyone is interested?
