                        I would like to do an early M-3 of the 192nd TB in the Philippines.  As an airplane guy, I don't know that much about armor.  Looking at what is available, which one is an earlier model from the assebly line, the Tamiya or Academy?  I would also like to do a conversion for an USMC M-2A4.  Is a conversion available?

                        WIP:  Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 73rd BS B-26, 40-1408, torpedo bomber attempt on Ryujo

                        Monogram 1/72 B-26 (Snaptite) as 22nd BG B-26, 7-Mile Drome, New Guinea

                        Minicraft 1/72 B-24D as LB-30, AL-613, "Tough Boy", 28th Composite Group

                        Tamiya's is a diesel engined variant that wasn't used by the US Army outside of stateside training.

                        The Academy kit discussed here is probably the one you want to get:

                        As far as the M2A4, you are in luck because Commanders Models just re-started their armor line (was OOP for half a decade or more). It is available here, but be advised, it is pricey:
