Beute M3 GMC75 Tunisia

Beute M3 GMC75 Tunisia

I`ve had this photo for a while awaiting the urge to build and add to my silly collection of beute, captures in Tunisia  

Well the Italeri fast builds are two-in-a-box so this was the perfect time, a very mixed crew - driver and commander hard plastic  from various Esci kits, one gunner is also Esci but soft plastic DAK and the other kneeling gunner is MMS, I then added German stowage from various manufacturers.

This will probably add to my 86th Panzergrenadier battlegroup as they really lack armoured equipment

I need one of these for 334 Schnelle Abteilung in Tunisia
