Panhard 178

This is another 15mm lash-up for my Fictional African wars.  The Panhard 178 (a metal model with the German AT gun conversion - no idea of the manufacturer) arrived in a batch of other stuff some time back.  Clearly such a dodgy looking vehicle would fit in well with my other 15mm toys. 
The bag of random spare figures yielded a few suitable to serve as the Panhard's crew.  All are from Peter Pig, including the M113 ACAV style M60 gunner who adds considerably to the vehicle's already imposing height!  I think the chap facing to the rear is another 'Nam era US type while the 'commander' is from the WW2 Italian range.

Unusual. Still quite a bit of detail for 15mm mate. Happy holidays... if you've got any

That's just the sort of look I was going for!

I've had most of the past week off - and next week. There are some perks to running our own business! Some modelling already done, more - and at least 3 games- still to come...

Nice Panhard and crew, Pana-rriffic in fact!

Gunners are always easy targets anyway.

I don't think that anyone aboard this vehicle is anything other than a target!

AK47 kit at its best

The Panhard looks as if it has come from the Piggie WW2 range.

Thanks - but what took you so long?
