I was going to post some pics of mine in here, but since dazza alreaady did his trucks, i'll keep my humble painting to myself

Hello Dazza

Thanks very much for the picture. It was exactly what I was after. Mind you, I might throw my paint brushes against the wall now in envy of your painting abilities  .

Always had a soft spot for the Sdkfz 7 since the Airfix kit came out  , so I was pleased when I saw the picture of it being used in China.

Now I can think of using the Unic P-107 as well


Cheers, and thanks again

I see the Japanese were already practising their train-loading skills on army vehicles.

Actually, looking closely, they don't seem to be on the vehicle at all, but standing on, or in, something behind it. Is it a cardboard cut-out perhaps, and they are all just standing on a box?

It's fake. We're clearly above it, looking down at the street, and yet we seem to be seeing the inside, but not the outside, of the canvas driver's cab. Also the tread is clearly visible on the tyres, whereas the tracks appear to be blurred. I imagine the OP put it together for this thread.

Hi

Although it grieves me lose the option of Japanese sailors packed into a Sdkfz 7, I think I've found the original picture that was used to put together the propaganda shot above:-



Photoshopping was not new in the 1930s!!

Of course it looks much better in the newspapers to have a captured Chinese half track used  .

(I'm still going to get some Sdkfz 7's though  , just might have to get some trucks as well)

Cheers
