Title: Italian WWII-ish vehicles
Post by: Story on September 13, 2023, 07:46:50 AM
Couldn't find a pre-existing thread, so
here
we
go

Note: the intent is to show what should be familiar vehicles in *different* settings.

Lince (above) compared to it's inspiration, the Daimler Dingo (below).
Differences; I saw rear fender 'can' style mufflers, a single gun ball mount like the M13/40s probably yoinked from an AB41** and an accordion roof (rather than two hatches) on the Italian copy. Spare tire (none on original) and radio mount at 3 o'clock (5 o'clock on original).

Wounded Indian POWs on Italian-made Panzerspähwagen Lince 202(i) (Autoblinda Lince) in use by the 4th Parachute of the Luftwaffe Division (4.Fallschirmjager-Division), in Florence (Firenze).

Nether design progressed further then scale models due to the armistice with allied forces.

Slingload diorama, maybe 1/72nd? Note the sling buffers.

Australian operated - good novel on the topic https://www.amazon.com/Easter-Day-1941-G-Borden/dp/0688065384 (https://www.amazon.com/Easter-Day-1941-G-Borden/dp/0688065384)

I think the next two might be the same tank - note the lack of a hull machinegun ball mount.

Found someone's travelogue where this display at Tobruk was labeled as a WW2 Italian tank.  ;D

I'm thinking that might actually be a track set from an Italian agricultural tractor or maybe even a towed gun, but I can't remember a designation.
