First up is a selection of WW2 British equipment added to the stash but never completed, until now.
An EWM 17pdr with Britannia crew. Should give the big cats something to think about, if they can avoid the attention of mortars.
Next, a BnB purchase at WMMS this year, PSC 6pdr guns and crew. Three crewmen to each gun and 6 spare crewmen for loader teams or additional crew.
The 6pdrs with their Loyd carrier tows.
The Loyd carriers.
The optional canvas tilts don't need glueing in place, so there's a bit of variety.
Assorted medics, the two standing figure groups are from the Italeri/Esci set, while the kneeling figure is Britannia or Kelly's Heroes from Grubby.
A Ready2roll Humber Light Recce Car, bought at Vapnartak 2019 - this one was painted last year, but stalled at the gloss varnish stage. I've decalled this up and finished the matt coat.
A Ready2roll Humber Scout Car, modified with the addition of an AB RAF liaison officer. This one I painted after Christmas, up to gloss stage, so I've added the decals and matt finish.
Finally for now, an SHQ forward HQ of three men, officer, radio operator and NCO, with their jeep transport (I posted pictures of the jeep last year).
Thanks for looking and keep safe!
Looking good Andy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, we'll have to try and get a 20mm game in some time.
DeleteLooking good, Andy, as always! I don't think I've ever seen that Humber light recce car before, looks pre-/early war. Looks like a good haul for some Caen and Market Garden!

Thanks Jack. The Humber LRC was an early or possibly pre-war design and was pretty much phased out by Normandy, although some were used as transport for RAF liaison officers and RAF Regiment units for airfield defence. I read that two were even fitted out as luxury limousines to transport the Royal Family if they had to evacuate London in secret and security!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Andy
Very cool, thanks for the info Andy!
