Did you see them coming?

[BigGreg]

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.)

SORRY MY BAD...
The model used by arditi camionettisti was the SOLOTHURN Model S-18 1000/1100 and i went to fast posting the picture... ( the rifle is indeed the Boys) and i found pictures of the Camionettisti using the Solothurn on their vehicles..

Greg, Jakko, thanks for the interest and as you said it gives me more pictures for reference.

Not much done, but what I have been doing has been fiddly and time consuming. I haven't used the blackdog bonnet mounted jerry cans or side cans as the moulding wasn't very good at all so had to raise my bits boxes to get some replacements.

They are just blue tacked into position at the moment and the German can in the back will be repositioned later.

Thanks Jim, still lots of clutter to add but the main bits are done

[scottie3158]

Not very much added but I am happy with the additions. I have also built the wheels and a few other bits and pieces ready to add on.

I added a resin ammo box to the front bumper, but first I removed the carry handles and replaced them with wire and foil then removed the moulded lid catches and replaced them with wire and foil as well. Next I replaced the bonnet gun pintle with evergreen and ally tube.
Hope you like it so far.

Beautiful work Scottie. All this fine detailing takes its time but once put together it really does make your builds stand above the rest. Keep it comin mate:thumb2:

Dang Paul,

It looks like the Jeep driver saw the prices of gas here and stocked up before hand. This is really nice and the handles and latches are sweet. You are doing a fantastic job buddy and it just gets better!!! Go Gadget, Go!!!

Prost
