M2/M3 Halftrack models in 1/35 scale

My sentiments and complaints exactly. I have told three different major manufacturers just that and so far no bites. (One told me it was easier to do German ones as there were "too many" American ones!!)

As for Monogram's halftrack, try "RE-RELEASED" in the 1970s and 1980s and dating from the 1950s! It is 1/35 scale but pretty crude -- only slightly worser than the Tamiya one, though.

Keep hoping and carping, somebody's gotta listen!

Despite the inevitable claims of "I'll buy a dozen!!" when an idea is floated, manufacturers have painfully learned that the reality is typically far, far, different.)

For a while, anyway.
