I've added a couple more trucks to my 15mm 1940 B.E.F. truck fleet. In this case they're actually 1:100 scale Soviet Zis 5 trucks by Zvezda, but they're generic-looking enough for my purposes to be requisitioned civilian Fiats or the like.
These are snap-together kits, and not too bad for the price, but they do lack detail on the sides of the canopy and cargo bed (just like their Opel Blitz model). I've painted in some drapery in the canvas, and drawn in the planking with a 0.1mm technical pen.

The very similar Gaz was a straight copy of the Ford AA truck & there were also French & British Ford versions, so near enough, I'd say.
