Hello
i've just bought the above mentioned vehicle in 1:72 from Minairons..nice subject and well designed model…but, also having read the info available on the net i have some questions please to anybody who know the subject:
i've read that it was used by both side…originally commissioned by the Republicans..then some captured by Nationalists..the most famous picts appear to be the one with the iconic lettering "Columna Madrid"..which is also kindly provided in decal set of the box…another pict on the web mention the lettering "…Comunista"..which easily intentify it as a Republican vehicle…but while surfing on the net i found this pict from a modeller..

without any doubt a well painted model..but the with he decal/letterings "Columna Madrid" and the the comunist symbol?..in my opinion a slogan like "Columna Madrid" could rfer only to a Nationalist vehicle…any ideas plaese on how to use the appropriate decals and identifying the model..personally i would prefer to use a Republican armoured truck not a Franquist..but the letering on the sides are a nice view also at this scale.
second question: in wargame therms (Rapid Fire- Rompan el Fuego) such an improvised vehicle will fire only with his turret hotckiss MMG (i'll choose this version not the one with the added T26 turret) are also, as mentioned in the rules for some of such kind of improvisede AFV , also with some of the crew's rifles ?..maybe with suche a big truck some of them could fire from open hatches?
thanks in advance |

Just trim the decals to taste, lose the 'columna' and just apply the 'Madrid'…..the ' Viva Espana' slogan has more Nationalist meaning than the columna slogan-I couldn't find a reference to the Columna Madrid. Email the man at Minairons, Lluis, a helpful chap.
Personally I would only allow the turret mg to fire, the crew being busy serving this weapon rather than firing with cumbersome rifles from open hatches…………the rules may be referring to armoured lorries that had slits/hatches for the soldiers to fire from under some protection…….. |
