German Armor from Mad Bob's Miniatures
« on: May 11, 2017, 03:09:20 PM »
I have been working on these off and on since December. I just don't have enough time to paint anymore and a couple of other projects ended up taking priority.
The two half tracked vehicles are the Pak 40 Auf S307(f) and the fully tracked vehicle with the big gun is a Geschutzwagen 39H(f). These vehicles are from the 21st Panzer Division during the Normandy invasion. At the time the 21st was critically short of armored vehicles so Alfred Becker setup a workshop and lead the team that converted the captured French armor.





If you are interested in the process here are links back to my blog that follow the whole project from start to finish.

Cool, I like the Geshutzwagen 39H(f) - always interesting to see some of the more unusual vehicles get some love.

Is that a FCM 36 PaK 40?! Wow neat.

Unfortunately that is not an FCM 36 PaK 40. That variant is based on the Somua tank chassis, and this one is base on the P107 French Halftrack. I may have a designation on it incorrect.

Edit: I see where I was wrong this one is based on the Somua MCG
