On the Chevy you could put a 37mm Cannon Italian "Elefantino" (small elephant) taken from Italians... (the nemesis of the LRGD were the Arditi Camionettisti that used Solothurn 20mm rifle Breda 8mm/7.92mm and the Elefantino 37mm) some LRDG "liberated" those cannon and put them on their vehicles...
here is the picture with the 20mm Soloturn

I think I have some 50's in my stash and some etch.

Your build is looking great Scottie

Have to agree with Greg on the aerial version. Always wondered why not more common. Seems the sleeve would aid in barrel life as the std version would get wonky when continued long bursts were used. PaulE

Thanks Paul,
The aerial version would be nice but I don't have the bits for one of them.

Where? That truck is armed with a Lewis gun by the front passenger’s seat and a Boys antitank rifle in the rear. A Solothurn antitank rifle looks like this:

(There were a couple of variants, and I’m not sure off the top of my head which one the Italians used, but they’re all basically the same shape and size.)

Jakko,
Thanks for that.

I know nothing of guns Paul so I shall leave it up to you experts. I do know a good build when I see one though and yours is indeed the DB's. Keep it comin mate
