Found this pic this morning, anyone any idea what it is? The pic was taken in Russia, so it's almost certainly captured equipment...Jim

I've found another picture of the same vehicle here : http://www.cardatabase.net/static/Unic/P107.php
According to the caption, it's a 1938 Unic P107. But if you compare it with this one (from http://globetrotter2.free.fr ) :

You'll notice the different engine cowling (and the new cargo bed as well...). Maybe the one on Jim's post had been re-motorized by the German ?

Just my 2 cents

AlBy used to make one in 1/72, but I think they've gone now.

The nearest I've seen is this Somua MCG5 from DES KIT
