That "Thing"

M29 Weasel ... here's a pic of one with a crew cover on it



And another with the lid down

Which province are you in Smith M ?

According to my RP Hunnicutt Bradley book, that's the early production cargo carrier M29 Weasel. Monogram used to have a kit of the M29C Amphibious Weasel which looks quite different from the early M29 pictured above. They reversed the engine compartment (from front to rear) and gave the C a boat shaped hull.

Thanks for the help. Oh and I live in Alberta, around Edmonton.

Take a little drive one day down to Wetaskawin, they have a couple of them at the "original" Reynolds Museum (not the Government owned one). They also have a few other interesting pieces laying around. Mr. Reynolds was quite the packrat.
