Should be fine, I can check the wheel base if you like and get back to you......

Here is my Russian Zis 5 and trailer....the Krauts were in such a hurry to use it they just threw a set of number plates on it and draped an aerial rec. flag over the hood to keep the "buzzards" away.

Nice combo Rick. I always like how you make the flags over the hoods

Very nice.

Wish I could master the art of getting the flag to look more natural.........would really like to get some ripples or waves into it so as not to look so "Rectangular". Thank you Lee.......and Paul, once you get that French Taxi (Citroen) finished up, it would be a candidate for this thread as well.

Here's a pair of GAZ AA's I converted from Model AA Fords into repurposed Ambulances.......

Not strictly captured but most definitely confiscated

Italian Fiat 626 abandoned in northern France

Pics of this one or more captured vehicles?

 

[rtfoe]

I've got one...an Opel Maultier which was used extensively by the Wehrmacht. This is waiting to go into a dio.


The rest are mostly armoured like the Renault, 38T, Semovente and Panhard.

Cheers,

Sorry Richard the operative word in the thread title is "captured" so any soft skin vehicle that the Wehrmacht either captured or confiscated would qualify for a post in this thread.

 

[rtfoe]

Ooh like a captured Matilda in German markings but a softskin version right.

Cheers,
Richard

Yes Richard....in an effort to get other modelers interested in the enormous variety of soft skin vehicles used by the Germans I started this thread a few years back in hope that it might inspire some to perhaps try modeling outside the "box". Instead of building the same products over and over again....this opens the door to building something different and in some cases, unique. :thumb2: Rick H.
