Hi
I've tried a few other sites with no luck.
I'm after any info or picture's of the US Army's Mobile Rocket Artillery used during the later part of WW2. They were based on the 2 1/2 ton GMC trucks, they mounted 2 x 8 racks of Rocket Tubes in the load area on a tubular framed launch ramp. The tubes were the same as used on the Calioppe Rocket system mounted on Sherman tanks.
Any help would be great.

Hi
have started my build of this. Most of the 2 1/2 ton truck has been built. using Italeri 1/35th scale hard cab truck , have also managed to build most of the Rocket launching system.
Still only have the 2 reference pictures to work from.
