Better pic

In bolt action it'll be ridiculous. 
Silly little pop guns but heavy armour so hard to crack!

Infantry almost built too just missing a few SMLE without bayonets.

I made the spare man into a medic

Now do I repurpose the Universal carrier by removing it's wading kit? 
I repurposed it once from Kingforce for Normandy and added a wading kit but it was never very good so I never actually painted it.

Pretty good so far. As for the cam. S.C.C.2 was the authorised base colour around this time which, looks a bit like milk chocolate depending on your POV/ monitor/ reading and research biases/ level of exposure and fading etc, etc, etc. The camouflage stripes could be S.C.C 1A dark brown or S.C.C. 14 black as an alternative. A number of paint brands do S.C.C.2 including Mig.  Black later became the standard disruptive colour for the European theatre but is completely legit for 1942 and makes for better contrast.

Yours look pretty good to me.

Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Thanks all,

I'm going to add black to the Dingo camo too to make the three tone.

Plan is to get some undercoat on the infantry later then hopefully a base coat of greenish English uniform

That looks great.

Now someone should make them commercially - say to support their late British range perhaps?

All over it ;)

Need to draw the interior first so it can cover later war too
