Confiscated tow
Any transport is better than none
My Volksgrenadiers needed a tow for their 150mm SIG. There had been some discussions over on FB about Germans using Fire engines as transport in and around Arnhem - so I thought lets do something different
Started out as a much abused Lledo "Days Gone" di-cast (no ladder, only 2 tyres and damaged paintwork) Like this but imagine worse wear
I re-painted it, added a ladder, some mixed stowage and a crew selected from all over the shop and it now looks like this:
here is how it will look towing the SIG
Great piece of modelling here.
ReplyDeleteVery kind, I`m quite pleased with it
ReplyDeleteLike the opening scene in A Bridge to Far with the Germans retreating using a fire-truck as transport.
ReplyDeleteThere was quite a discussion about fire engines used as transports at Arnhem, then I spotted this unloved on a flea market stall :) It fits in quite nicely with my rag tag VG regimental transport pool.
DeleteReally like that Richard- great work.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Cheers Pete I`m very happy how it came out.
