Italian Recce

Italian Recce 

The last of those di-casts I picked up before Christmas.

Started out like this

A simple paint job and wash and a scratch crew from the bits box, I also added the extra pintle Breda HMG as you often see these in photos.



Whilst I was looking for images of AS42s to find colours, I found this interesting image

As I happened to have a few Jeeps in my dwindling stash and do like odd things, I built this as a command vehicle for my Italian recce battalion, the radio op was a Matchbox Australian (head swapped)

    1. All four di-casts came out pretty good and I`m happy with the results. The Jeep is a bonus :)

  2. Nice idea. If we are out of Italian vehicles we can always go for a jeep.
