Finished the last two vehicle for the settlers Army
Two centurions




While I was at it I  finished two T 55 for my other force





I am not very good at painting tanks so any comments or helpful hints wood be great, Ideally I would like the vehicles to look a bit more lived in help!

One of the great things about AK47 Republic is that you get to use Centurions - favourite tank ever. And T55s just to complete the perfection :D

Nice work.

My first AK47 force was the Zumri 'Army' (Pictures 54,5 &6)
Picture 64 Is the Zumri 'Air Force'

The advantages of having different forces are two-fold:
1) I can play against someone who doesn't have any AK47 troops.
2) I can 'mix & match' e.g. If the 'Army' wants to drop the tanks &
    have some Jeeps armed with Recoiless Rifles, I can do that.

Those I picked up at a Poundland (all four for one pound) They were covered
with Cadbury's logos, but hey 25p each, I am not going to complain.

The 'trucks' in the 'Army' box were from a Triang railway car transporter.
In the 1960s my youngest brother, knowing I loved trainsets, bought it for me,
unfortunately it was state of the art modern & I wanted 1930s GWR steam.
It sat in its box until AK47 came along, with its 'a tank is a tank & a truck is a truck'.
hence they became my army's 'trucks'. Waste not, want not.

Cheers for the response!  I am sad now that I cannot get any, I can't even find anything more modern than the Bedford MJ for my cold war Brits.

I want Fodens, Leyland and MAN trucks!!

Last year at a show I managed to pick up 3 of these for a £5 with the intention of using  them for this, lovely little plastic kit from battlefront, very easy to put together, I figured I can used it along with a bedford for each unit to carry my six base units four in the truck and two in the halftrack and still be able to use the HMG on the halftrack?

just new to make some storage
