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.  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?  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  . Here's a few from from that book. For purposes of discussion only      |

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