Faust Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Interwar military vehicles are not something that a lot of model makers pay much attention to. Unless they saw action in WWII, the various transitional armoured and mechanized vehicles of the Pre-WWII period are pretty much forgotten. In many cases, modellers can’t even get kits of these types of vehicles. A perfect example is the awesome Morris Commercial D/CD. This half-car, half-truck six-wheeler was used as a staff car by the British from the late ‘20s, but is virtually unknown today. As a result, if you want a replica of this cool, but obscure, vehicle, you’re somewhat out of luck. Thankfully, Dinky Toys came to the rescue in the late ‘30s with its #152b, the Six-Wheeled Reconnaissance Car. Sure, the Commercial wasn’t really for recon, it was a staff car, but that doesn’t stop the Dinky from being a neat replica of an all-but-unknown vehicle! While it’s not up to modern armour kit standards of detail, check out this cool little time-traveller at the link below. Who knows, maybe one day we WILL get a kit of this thing! https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/dinky-six-wheeled-reconnaissance-car-152b/ Edited February 11, 2021 by Faust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hmm, wonder how many of those, if any, ended up seeing action in miniatures games? Sometimes you do the nice minis, the official minis; and sometimes you invent and adapt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
