Steyr 1500A Mannschaftswagen Photo Walkaround

My understanding is that this is one of the Czech repro early type Pkw bodies on an original 1944 AU Lkw chassis so from a purely modelling reference point of view there may be the odd inaccuracy, but if there is I couldn’t find any and it looks to be a period accurate ’41-’42 produced vehicle to me.

Taken at Armistice Day in Cambridge, November 12 2011. The photos have been resized to about 20% of their original size for uploading so if anyone requires larger images drop me a line. This is part of the vehicle collection belonging to the Afrika Korps reenactors. I’d love to provide a link but it appears that they belong to neither the MRS or HRS so if any of you DAK guys see this drop me a line if you would like your contact details included here.

Opel Blitz Late Production Photo Walkaround ( Updated )

The first half of these were taken at Armistice Day in Cambridge. The photos have been resized to about 20% of their original size for uploading so if anyone requires larger images drop me a line. This truck is part of the vehicle collection belonging to the Afrika Korps reenactors. I’d love to provide a link but it appears that they belong to neither the MRS or HRS so if any of you DAK guys see this drop me a line if you would like your contact details included here.

The second half were taken of the same truck at the MOTAT Military Day in 2010 ( previously published by us back HERE ). These were taken on an older camera so have only been resized to 75% of their original size. The interior shots have also been over exposed to bring out the detail. Please also note that “late production” generally just denotes a vehicle made from around 1940 onwards as opposed to those of pre-war manufacture.

M2A1/M3 U.S. Halftrack Photo Walkaround

I say M2A1/M3 as this is the first time I’ve seen an M2A1 with the M3s rear door. No idea if this is genuine of a restoration change.
