Sorry, but your Sea Daddy Trudeau won't allow that!

You'll have to settle for a scaled down resin version if you can find the drawings!

Le Clair, Iowa has 2 thunderbolt mounts overlooking the mighty Mississippi, unless the American Pickers have cabbaged on to them!

Those are M45 Quadmount .50 calibers - the Thunderbolt had a different layout.

That said, the M45 was part of the M16 halftrack, which could make any rush hour commute more fun. :big_grin:

My mistake. No 20mm cannons are in Le Clair.
