Well,
Here are the beginnings of a resent stash
Am keen on 1/48 prop/jet aircraft Vietnam war Air America etc.
1/32 Japanese aircraft and aircraft used by Thailand up until the 50s or so all prop
1/35 Lorean War Armor, etc.
My first build soon a WIP (Once I get some new glasses to be able to see what I am doing ha ha)
M 41 Walker Bulldog
Can easily have a discussion about this tank serving in The Korean War or not. I have a couple of sources that say it did
Chime in with your 2 cents.
Build process shortly
Watching lots of videos things have definitely changed regarding modeling decades ago.
From my understanding, it was first known as a T 41, not an M 41.
The US Army took them straight from the factory to South Korea with no testing.
Have a couple of links and some information about this but very little
The M41 in action
By 1953, the M41 was first deployed in Korea, in first numbers. Known as the T41, it was deployed apparently without proper gunnery training and a troublesome rangefinder. These issues were addressed later. However, it performed much better, as intended, than the M24 facing North Korean and Chinese T-34/85s. In 1961, 160 were passed onto Japan Ground Self-Defense Force in addition to the local Type 61.
