Friends, to record my recent work, Ford G917 - 19 Flak Division, using as a main item of the kit PRM - FORD G917. Visit http://www.panzermodels.com.br
I will also use other kits of Italeri, to help in the composition of this project. I want to get closer to the image below:

The Truck.

I am using the kit resin of the PRM Ford G917, a kit very good, resin soft, easy to work and detail.

Excellent job, Marcos. Both vehicles look fantastic. I think you really capture the "feel" and look of the Afrikakorps Ford.

Thanks for sharing

Hello Marcos

very Nice!! I love these Flak trucks.

On question: i always thought Flak units were Luftwaffe (which means it would wear a WL license plate)?

all the best

Hi Marcos,

Great work on the conversion, you've got a couple of grand looking trucks there. Good stuff.
