France 1940, the Germans are pushing the French back to the sea. A panhard armoured car has stopped in a French village to get its orders. A French MP on a Gnome and Rhone motorcycle stands nearby to help direct the hectic traffic. As the panhard commander and a French officer are discussing the next move another fight breaks out. Its a ancient war between the cat and the dog. The dog barks fiercely, but the cat pays it no mind. It knows the french dog is all bark and no bite. Perhap the cat has some German blood in him!

Very cool, from concept to finished product.

I love dioramas that tell a story.

Don, this one turned out great!
Wonderful job on these oldies!

Just one little remark; the drivers hatch isn't attached straight and because it is in plain site I feel it takes down the overall look of the kit.
