Aaargh!

Now I have to decide wether to get yet more Red Sailors or start a new Chinese Warlord Army 

Actually, I think I've got as many sailors as I can possibly justify, having bought a load at Salute for my Bolshevik army.

The Chinese on the other hand are very, very tempting.

They'd go very well with my surplus to requirements 1/48 Lancia armoured car and Smer Ansaldo SVA kit. I could even add a small contingent of Artizan Italians as a Warlord bodyguard. Not that the Italians sent any military advisors to China...it is the Back of Beyond though so I guess anything goes

This is the armoured car:

Seems like a great excuse to build an entire Chinese Warlord's army equipped with the best Italian army surplus money can buy 

And, aerial support too:

Nice.

wow, this car is a blast!

Edit: where to get?

[Ignatieff]

I ordered a Lancia at Partizan yesterday, though I cant recall the name of the guy who makes them  He is new, and does some superb Spanish Civil War vehicles as well.  Once it arrives, I'll let you know.  By the way, there were some Italians in Siberia.  Yet another contingent on their way through the chaos of Russia.  They made it in the end to Vladivostock.  Dashed if I can recall the source though.  Somewhere in my book collection.......damn this ageing process....what did you say your name was again?

That's the SCHUCO Lancia Ansaldo - but it's 1/43 and really huge
