Most of the time the Swedish soldier during the WW2 era would march on his feet, sometimes on a bike, sometimes on a horse cart or a lorry, but there was also the iconic KP-bil (M/42). Here is how I made mine in 15mm as part of our SwedishCoC what-if project. Hope it is of interest, at least you may not have seen one of these vehicles on a wargames table before!

Different front and rear axle widths? |

Awesome to the max (aka. skitbra!)! Is the pain scheme a historical one? Tried googling and located some more or less similar ones, mainly in the Arsenalen. |

Just carve a dragon's head for the hood ornament, and put some firing ports out the sides (or gun locks along the top of the sides), so you can have your barrels sticking out like the oars of a drakkar, and you can probably scare half the potential opponents of Europe into paying you tributes to stay away from their shores! -Mark

Very interesting.
To answer the question I'm guessing its got duellies on the rear. |

"Different front and rear axle widths?" "…To answer the question I'm guessing its got duellies on the rear." Sure has.

Very nice. Several years ago I tries casting much simpler versions for a light tank company with strv m/41 and m/42. This was my first venture into home casting, so the quality is very far from perfect.
Anyway mine haven't been out of the box for several years. It was rather inspiring to see your take on this iconic vehicle. EDIT: I just saw your source for the vehicles. The price is a tad high for me. Although counting the cost for RTV mould rubber and resin, it may be OK. |
