SCW Artillery

 I have now assembled and painted all 8 artillery pieces I acquired from the HaT plastic 1/72 range - 4 x 37mm Pak 36 and four British WWI field guns. All the AT guns are crewed - two each Nationalist and Republican - and I have done one of the Minairons metal gun crews to go with a field gun - first off the bench was a Nationalist crew - with an officer who could easily be repurposed to represent Generalisimo Franco 'is self!

Currently on the painting desk are more Requetes Militia (they of the red berets) and the first of the Nationalist Regular Moroccan Infantry, who should put in an appearance later in the week, all going to plan.

Above and below are the two Republican AT guns. Based on no evidence whatsoever, I have decided that the guns will be painted a similar khaki shade as the Republican uniforms....

.....and the Nationalist guns a darker green, akin to the colour of the Nationalist Regular army uniforms!

Here is the Minairons crew - I have taken several different angles, including a couple sans weapon

Zoom in on the above and I am sure you will recognise the resemblance to the Great Leader!

Having looked in both artillery crew packs, there isn't a lot to define them as specifically one side or t'other, (except one guy wearing an Adrian helmet, which makes him Republican in my book!), so I will do one crew each as intended and one each with a mix of officers etc, just for some variety.

Thanks for dropping by - have a good week!
