That'd make a great diorama! I'm wondering about location. Anyone know the make of the 4x4 with trailer?

Don't know the make but it looks like it could be made with a cut down Canadian Chevrolet truck cab & chassis.



Wouldn't be surprised if it either was made that way or was made by Chevrolet Canada.

The poster said Marville France. The 4x4 is a Unimog. Maybe a model 406 or 411?

Yep, the Unimog 411 would be the beast:

Thanks folks! Just one of the many reasons that I love this forum  :-*

Nice one Guy! A perfect match. My first thought had been Unimog but, obviously, I didn't dig deep enough. (I had also wondered about the Steyr-Puch Haflinger ... but scale and details/shapes were off.)

Actually, it's closer to 650 per revetment; so, about 1300 for both. ;)

So now, instead of rivets, it's down to drum counting...
