M8 Greyhound radio
Posted by Recon89 on Tuesday, June 27, 2017 7:38 PM

The radio location for the M8 Greyhound in the Tamiya kit instructions show it mounted on the left side (facing forward). The book I have of the M8/M20 shows it located on the right side in the M20. There are no pictures of it in the M8. Is there a correct location in the M8? Also, is the floorboard directly below the drivers white or olive drab? The kit instructions show this floorboard from the front clear back to the back bulkhead as olive drab, but from the model kit pictures I have seen it is painted white directly below the drivers and olive drab back to the bulkhead.

Thanks in advance. Other than the WLA, this was one of my dad's favorite rides in WW2 (89 Cav. Recon - 9th Armored).

Well, not sure about the Greyhound but here's how I did my M20.

Thanks for the feedback. Great job on the M20. I expecially like the real chains on the tires. I was wanting to try the same thing before I saw your pics so will have to try it. I didn't like the look of the molded on chains you can get aftermarket and I wanted to show it in a snow diorama.
