More SP flak

And theres more 

This S&S Renault AHN truck was started before Christmas, but now its complete with its Britannia 37mm AA and DAK crew plus heavy trailer


Not sure if this combination was ever used but it looks the  part and th e truck could certainly take the weight 

On the off chance I cannot use this combination for Tunisia, I made the gun separate for ground deployment 

I also created a sabot cargo insert for the truck  :good:

 

Dug in guns

To go with the towed guns I did earlier.

Dug in captured 25pdr (gun - Raventhorpe, base - S&S) crew to come later



Dug in Pak36(r) (gun - Raventhorpe, position - S&S) again crew later





To carry the italian HQ security platoon an Autocarretta Tipo 36P by Raventhorpe - looks a bit like a big milk float

Heres my version - I`ve even matched the decals, painting some by hand, Division markings from Taylor over on The Guild forum


The Sdkfz251 is an ancient Fujimi model, which has had a major re-furbishment, stowed up and re-painted, crewed with various AB, Airfix and Revell figures (all with minor modifications)
The M3 was a £0.99 di-cast toy from Bluebox? Bought at Toy`r us years ago. Heavily modified with new wheels, added wooden roof, armoured windshield covers, rear seats and stowage. Again crewed with a mixture of AB, Airfix and Revell figures (again some alterations).

Again when I get 2mins I`m going to model an emplaced gun.
