This one was initially scheduled to be produced by Citroen, as the Kegresse, but the company went under and production was taken up by Unic in 1934. There were around 2000 produced, and as well as French use, captured vehicles were also used by the Germans. Once this one is all moulded up, we'll send a couple back to the designer to modify into a couple of different variants.

I assume the cabin roof will be a separate casting? Beautiful little model. =D>

:-\ What do you mean exactly? We're sending the model and some castings back for conversions, so there'll be several varieties done from this one master.
The lagre yellow flat bit - leave that off and you have the basic vehicle - inculding the troop carrier.

Yeah, that'll be done, the model itself will survive the moulding process, so then we can send it back.
That's a funky little beast - like it 8)
I really like this one! I can see it and any variants coming my way.

Besides the military use, of seen pictures of Citroen half-tracks like this on various cross-country treks in the middle of no-where, for those considering "back of beyond" adventures.
Lovely little model.....and great for AVBCW.
