Best to forget the mohawk hair cut. It was only done by a few pathfinder troopers.

Oh, I was going to paint him blue and give him a knife missile.

I agree that resin opens up some interesting possibilities. Although I am a little concerned we don't end up with things in resin that would have been significantly better done in plastic. This tank maybe an example of that. I'm trying to keep an open mind.

This allows Our Gracious Hosts to test the market for French tanks. If stuff is going to sell in sufficient quantities it is more economical to produce it in plastic. The moulds last much longer, the materials are easier to handle (and cheaper?) and there is a certain cachet to a plastic kit.

Remember these are a bought in product that has been given the Rubicon treatment.

I hope they make it to Warfare in November.

Are the tow cables on the hull sides going to be separate items?

Yes, they are separate parts and optional too!

Excellent.

I did wonder if these were used by the LRDG, not definitive, but Wikipedia says that Ford 15cwt CAMP were used as command vehicles (Chevrolet 30cwt for line vehicles). Not sure on the cab type though.

I was just glancing through the Bolt Action LRDG list.

If only for entertainment value.

Roto Trailer - filled with ammo and fuel ( in wheels ! ) towed by Valentine / Churchill tanks - seen in North Africa

Assuming it has badges for 8th and 27th Armoured brigades it is perfect.

It does.

Right.  I found a photo of a 15cwt truck in the desert with an L prefix number.  Maybe it was overloaded...

Does anyone know what a 30cwt CMP looks like?

Thanks, so Z prefix for basic British trucks.

Interesting images if you Google for them, a number with autocannon on the load bed (Breda and German).

Will the 11CV model get the decals as well?

The licence plates are on the lower right-hand corner...

I noted them (including what looks like a German one),  so the sheet is in the 11CV box?
