About this 3D model
The September 2022 Bolt Action FAQ/Errata introduced the M51 gun Carriage and Quad .50-gun truck as options for the American player, both which are armed with the M45 Gun Turret. The towed version was mounted on either the M 51 trailer, or the later M 20 trailer. The M45 Turret was a small single man turret with two .50 HMGs on each side, configured to engage both air and ground targets in a 360 arc. The turret was powered by a small gasoline engine located to the right rear behind the gunner. This packs a tremendous amount of firepower in a very small footprint. This .stl pack provides the gun turret, with the guns set at a 30-degree elevation. There are two trailer options – both the M 51 and the M 20 trailer. As well, a turret base allows it to be mounted in your own model of a deuce and a half. I provided a gunner figure, and a second headless one, in case you want to mount a head from a plastic sprue instead. The M45 was a small weapon system, and as the average soldier of WW2 did not resemble the buff titans of “Heroic scale” miniatures, the gunner figure is a small frame fellow. This .stl is intended to resin printing only. This pack includes both the basic .stls plus pre-supported .stls. The pre-supported .stls may not be an ideal fit for your own printer / resin / settings.
