The 7th Armoured Div Independant Medium MG Company

As flagged by the "64" black AoS the Bren carrier and M3 Half tracks, both from Airifx, belong to that unit. Their goal was to suppress enemy anti-tank gun screens and infantry positions at ranges up to 2,500–4,500 yards. I simply added a Vickers MG to the Bren carrier based of many available pics and put an extra Browning inside the half track. Some soldiers walking nearby were added. They come from different sources (Dan taylor, Milicast, etc). Some stowage and canisters added some realism

Johnny has never been a good driver, even in peace times…

So he did not realize the track was quite slippery and his Dodge D15 (15 cwt 4x2 GS, 7th Arm’d Div Signal Regt – from Trux Models, ootb) fell over the roadside. Luckily an M3 ARV 1 (Converted from an M3 Grant Airfix + Matador conversion kit) belonging to the Light Aid detachment was nearby and came to fix the issue. Incidentally a jeep (Airfix, ootb) belonging to the Artillery HQ and carrying a para officer was stuck in the jam… Soldiers from AB, Milicast, Airfix, Dan Taylor, Retrokit. This is not a dio but rather a part of a much larger WG board

M21 - 81mm mortar carriage

I converted an M3 from a Chinese manufacturer (€4.3) into an M21 carrying a 81mm mortar. It belongs to the Arm’d Recce Rgt of the 7th Arm’d Div. In the foreground a Ford WOC 8 cwt (Bull Models), a Bren Carrier (Cromwell Battle Range) and a Stuart Recce (converted from an M2A4 Stuart by Milicast with addition of cutting prongs by Matador). Figures by Milicast, Airfix, Bull, AB. Bags, ammo boxes, jerrycans by Calibre 72, Hobby Master, Convoy, Extratech, TP Models, Jadar Model. I strictly focus on 1/76, therefore for this one I modified the front bumper to give the impression the scale is aligned
