As part of the seriously out of control arms race that is accompanying the development of Little Cold Wars I have acquired several Saladin armoured cars.
These models are the rather splendid Crescent die casts - complete with matchstick firing gun! Such is the robustness of the models that in most cases the gun still functions. According to my measurements they scale out at about 1/38.
So far I have painted this quartet - a base coat of green and an over spray of black for that full-on 1970s BAOR look.
More when I have finished them off.
* I know, I know. But it was the best I could come up with on a Monday.

Or you could have used the title of an old musical review called "Salad Days" what!
Will the working guns feature in the rules?

That's enough talk of salad. I think it's illegal in Yorkshire.

Artillery fire features the mighty matchstick - AT fire uses a different mechanism, but it's nice to know the Saladins have all their original features.
This project has taken on a life of it's own....no shock there!
These are quite nice little models!
