Title: Inter-War period civilian vehicles
Post by: mijalo on 09 April 2012, 06:24:04 PM
I have found a few browsing the lists, but any chance of a few civilian vehicles (open top trucks, cars, cyclists and motorcyclists) that could be used for either the SCW or other 1930s scenarios?

Maybe try the Gaugemaster online store as a starting point. Brands that come to mind are Faller, Heki (sp?), Noch, Graham Farish..

GaZ AAA is a Ford civilian vehicle, most Early War British vehicles wouls also pass muster, built for civilian use with a military subsidy up to '39. Almost all WWI soft skins would do as well.

These are well worth a look; nicely painted and a good variety.

Hi

A few others to look at:-

(some look small compared to Pendraken vehicles (eg Morris Commercial van), some are ok )

Haven't seen these in the flesh.

US N scale manufacturer, has Ford, Chevrolet and Mack items, listed as 1/160 but look ok.

Cheers

May be they're out of stock ( or am I stupid ) ? Because I can't "Add to cart" this choice ? ( the button is ok for the Morris, or the Citroen Bus..)

Thank you.

Do the Fiats. Also built in France as Simca and Poland, and used by those armies as well. Like the ford model A has a small pick up and panel van versions used as lighter utility vehicles by several smaller armies (Italy, France, Poland, Hungarians etc).

Also nicely very generic.
