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)
On patrol in the garden
It's wonderful when a project works out. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteAll four di-casts came out pretty good and I`m happy with the results. The Jeep is a bonus :)
DeleteNice idea. If we are out of Italian vehicles we can always go for a jeep.
ReplyDeleteYes finding the Jeep photo was a bonus :)
DeleteGreat brace of vehicles.
ReplyDeleteReally like them.
Cheers,
Pete.
