Very impressive now that its all tricked out. The welding work was amazing on it's own as it has progressed but seeing it all together is fantastic.
I'm guessing the base plate on the off-side was in case the WWII crews needed to dismount the mortar. Out of curiosity, how many 3-inch bomb carrier sets would be transported in the side racks?
My T-16 is evolving into a 4.2-Inch carrier and will require twelve of the larger bomb carrier sets on each side over the tracks. I can find the 3-inch variants here but the 4.2-inch types don't exist so I'll end up having to fabricate them.
