Absolutely outstanding! The camo is a real winner

The most wonderful green and brown worms that I have ever seen.
Bravo, Mon Capitaine.

She's a beaut! I was going to say "little beaut" but then again she's not all that little, is she?

Captain Blood · « **Reply #1222 on:** July 02, 2018, 12:51:12 PM »

No, she's quite a beast. Basically a large armoured truck - bigger than the small French tanks.

Merci beaucoup tout le monde... I must admit, I'm sceptical about the camo scheme. It looks a bit garish and overstated to me, but that seems to be how the French liked it... That idiosyncratic sense of Gallic design

I shall have plenty of opportunity to experiment with alternatives on the rest of the convoy... I have so far tracked own about 200 different WW2 French AFV camo schemes on Google

i/ They started out green and faded fast to natural linen in the desert sun...
ii/ Les chefs decided as it was non-regulation to go without his shirt, they would allow this poilu to wear non-standard shorts too...

Phwoar, your work always inspires Sid James levels of appreciation in me.

This is a wonderful thread... wish there were many more like it.
(Not complaining because LAF has many great threads!)
Keep 'em coming.

and also the strict sand color

( Vichy-Vichy-Free French-Vichy and sand colored one Free French just before Bir Hakeim )

France :
365 kind of cheeses
same number of camo schémes

Next up... The Rubicon Models (ex-Neucraft) Hotchkiss H39...

An absolutely gorgeous little model. Nothing added, except for the commander - a Perry DAK Marder crewman with legs amputated, a French headswap and a Green Stuff sand scarf...
