Oooo nice job on that. The Lewis Gun is a great idea. The sand bags really finish it off nicely ;)

This will soon be re released by Empress we are just working our way through a long line of resin and metal releases.

...its one of my favourite Paul,

The gunner is a VBCW mini and IIRC the driver is from your Pz 1 model...they go together nicely.

I like it so much here is an 'in action'  :D

Thanks , nicely done.
the only point is there might be some bits missing ?
http://www.panzernet.com/foro4/showthread.php?10863-Nuestros-cacharritos-de-la-Guerra-Civil/page5





The back door, the enclosed section the door etc
The drums ? water ok, Fuel ? (not wise to carry it with open top)
so I will have to do some extra scratch building.
any more information would be great.
none of my Spanish book has any picture on this subject.

Nice details David.

I am a bit surprised the back (rear) door was missed as a modelled item on the FOA vehicle. No problem though as these adhoc vehicles could and did have local variations and its one of my favourite vehicles of the war.

The small internal boxed area could easily be knocked up with some plasti card....I'm told superglue can be used for making rivet lines.

Anyway, when you're done pop up a pic  ;)

Cheers

Happy W
