French Command Vehicles
A few days work, plodding along
I don`t as a rule decal my vehicles as they tend to be used as and where required, I`ve painted these a standard green so they can be used in France `40 or elsewhere if i so choose.
Shellhole Scenics Renault A.D.H 2.5 Ton Radio Van
Shellhole Scenics 1937 Chevrolet Ambulance
Which I have painted up as an office van for my French HQ
Group shots with my other French HQ vehicles
A repurposed and stowed up Lledo di-cast and a S&S Citroen C2
Char D1s of 7th Squadron, 4th Regiment Chasseurs D`Afrique
7th squadron of 4RCA had 15 of these in Tunisia at the time of the German landings, they immediately joined other French units as part of the now combined allied armies trying to defeat the Germans/Italians.
The unit was at Medjez-el-Bab; Hir Moussa and Kasserine (where they claimed a Panzer IV!)
These are 20mm by Early War Miniatures (one has an AB Figures commander)
I`ve tried by best to use the camouflage as illustrated in Sicard & Vauviller, but I`ve left the aerials in place (all research says they had been removed, but not why??) because I like them :)
Both together
Playing with the camera in the garden
British Commander`s ride
My first piece since we moved to Spain
Not much but a beginning at least
This was a Corgi AEC box van, I added window/shutters and a little stowage and have painted her up as a command caravan for my desert British.
I think it looks OK
Certainly doesn`t look out of place among my other British HQ and soft skins
