Hello
I'm after any links to descent picture's or actual pic's of the Berliet GPE-4 French Tank Transporter.
I've the 1/35th scale Wespe resin Model & want to add some extra detail etc to this when I start building.

you can also take a look at these WIP pics of the Azimut kit (which is the same kit according to the author).

You're welcome Shaun ! Here are a few more pics from a Polish forum. No close up, but they show how the system works, with a Renault UE (not sure about the pics order...) :













Here's the rear of the truck pictured in my previous post (with its new owners) It looks like it carries an armored car :

Here's a link to the missing picture :

Hi
Yeh there the pic's that I've managed to find, but a lot clearer. That's the idea for the build if I can manage it.
My Wife reconse it's just a big Skip lorry ( what does she know ).
