First, and once more, let me ask you forgiveness for showing the Swastika which is here simply and obviously for historical and accuracy reasons.
Decades ago my main concern was to have tanks! Lots of them! Like this I could win most of my (imaginary) wargames. With time, and also the evolution of the hobby, these kind of radio vans became prime targets after hordes of Tigers, T-34, Shermans, etc having filled my shelves.
So two more Renault ADH from Shellhole Scenics arrived to the French. As I already have another one from Wespe one of these new radio vans became a Beute German vehicle.
The models are simple and beautifully engineered with a main body in resin and details in metal and brass.
The French Renault ADH had a camouflage inspired by a picture on the GBM magazine.
One of the models had an inflated roof due to a casting problem. This became the German Beute as it was easier to desguise the issue with some extras the Germans used to carry. Also the front antenna holder had to be cut little bit as the bump would make uneven the two antenna holders.
In fact solving the problem was easy with some extra folded camouflage net and some foliage. The model was painted as belonging to the Recce battalion of the 79 ID in Soviet Union, late 1941.

Hi JP, good to see such an unusual vehicle getting put to use for both your French and German forces. Cheers Greg (Delta Coy Blog)
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg. I tried to find it in the Afrika Korps lists but no they were not there, sadly:)
DeleteLovely. It's the peculiar vehicles which make the hobby more fun and the table-top pop. Thanks for sharing.
