Wikipedia believes the Hungarians had them too ... though whether you believe Wikipedia .....

"Hungary
Several hundred 47 mm guns were captured by the Germans after the battle of Belgium and donated to the Hungarians in 1940-1, to make up for their lack in anti-tank guns during Operation Barbarossa. Their use was limited however due to a lack of spare parts, while the armor penetrating capabilities of these guns had also been surpassed by the Soviet advances in tank construction. Most were relegated to training duties."



Description
The Hungarians received several Belgian anti-tank guns from the Germans. IIRC, the guns were quite effective for their caliber, but suffered from a fragile targeting system.

Just to throw this out there, I didn't commission these Belgian vehicles, they just arrived one day... 

I'm a big fan of complete ranges myself, hence the ACW, WWII Polish, Aztecs, Brunswickers, etc and the upcoming 1860 Italians and Indian Mutiny ranges.

The thing is FK, I'm 71 and I want jam now, not tomorrow - I might not be here tomorrow :-)

You have a point, I  can't deny it.

I'll definitely gonna get some too but first my Germans will have to defeat the Polish!
For my Chasseurs Ardennais I was actually considering using Germans as a basis with helmets cut off and replaced by barets. The short tunic and German type breadbag/waterbottle together with the ammopouches and Mauser rifle makes them a good starting point I think. The gasmask cannister has to be reworked into a Belgian type gasmaskbag and I need to find a solution for the BAR but for the rest I'm not too worried... yet. Then again; I only need a platoon or something with some AT-guns and vehicles for some delaying actions.

Cheers,
Rob

Would be nice if a Vickers A1E1 "Independent" just turned up for the Interwar range!
