Excellent!!!

A little PE for the grill ornament and the "star" radio aerial and they're almost perfect.

Oh, and maybe a resin rag top!

Hi,

I admit, I know absolutely nothing about this vehicle. Is there any info available about it?
When I googled it I was directed back to this thread.

My main questions would be when did it enter service and was it seen in the German invasion of France?

Cheers,
TimTam27

Thanks Alanmac.

That answers the question of whether there were any involved in the invasion of France. There would have been plenty available.

I guess I will have to wait until the kit is finally released to find out if the version in the box represents an early enough variant.

Cheers,
