I’d like to see Boots rat one of these.
Might be worth us all clubbing in to get him one

It’s the same as the tank, Tamiya light brown DAK XF-93.

Thanks snipersmudge. Some chipping with olive green to show that is a captured French army vehicle. ![](https://i.ibb.co/0ChwDky/4-E71-B452-5-B2-B-494-A-858-F-8-B8191-F03-F88.jpg) It might all disappear under the weathering.

It might all disappear under the weathering. I hope it doesn't because it looks great!

QUESTION- should I put these German crosses on the doors and if so which - the black and white ones from a 1/48 tank or the white ICM ones? ![](https://i.ibb.co/9qYdVbX/E354-C165-D85-F-42-B4-9731-7-A710-EEC3-EA7.jpg) I can’t decide!!!!!

I'd say it the black & white ones or perhaps a better choice would be the DAK palm tree insignia on the doors.

Tommy to keep it historically correct, it shouldn't have any Balkenkreuze what-so-ever. I just checked my reference book "Unter der Glühenden Sonne Afrikas" from Alois Schlee, all the soft skinned vehicles shown in there only have unit markings and the AK Palm ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Here's a few from from that book. For purposes of discussion only ![](https://i.ibb.co/xqMjwSR/DSCN0093.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/6vyJbFk/DSCN0094.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/sj2dWZX/DSCN0095.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/y5qtRJP/DSCN0096.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/t83J6gT/DSCN0097.jpg)

The picture of Rommel's car looks like there is a swastika flag on the hood, like on the tank.
