[GrumpyOldMan]

Hi

Does anybody have a picture or can write a thumbnail description of this truck, is it the Renault Autoblindee 1 eme 1914 APC. Here is a picture of a 20mm version of this truck:-



Thanks for any info.

Cheers

It's a Schneider truck:

Hi

Thanks Leon for the clarification. It's not what I thought but then again it does look attractively ugly  .

Cheers

If you go to the France : Other Vehicles section of the Tanks website http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/ you will find a number of pictures of different French vehicles that look broadly similar to this. The only thing is that most, if not all, are Armoured cars mounting machine guns rather the Armoured Trucks/APCs .

I picked up this rather ungainly looking vehicle (nice sculpt however), I did some research on it. Apparently they were used by the Spanish in the Rif War. I'm not sure if the French actually used any variants themselves...

I was hoping to find an acceptable early war armored car that looked similar to the French Peugeot model 1914.

Love the idea of an armoured car on bicycle wheels!

heavy armoured?

Like a 1923 german  Reichswehr faketank!

I'm guessing the white armored car would be the closest proxy to the Peugeot? It would take some heavy conversions to make it look similar, but could be done.
