Marines??
What are Marines again??
I have this nice special order FAMO SdKfz 9, 18 ton recovery vehicle I ordered from Battlefront. Actually I have two but decided to e-Bay one out.
Anyway, I have been looking for any information on markings the Germans applied to the FAMOs. Specifically I was looking for any tactical markings used on them. For example Tiger tanks had a rhomboid with an "S" inside as a tactical marking. We are talking something on the order of a couple of mm's in length. Silly to worry about at 15mm scale, but the FAMO is almost devoid of markings beyond license plates (which I have) so I wanted to put on something to make it stand out.
After digging through picture after picture in my books and online I finally found a clear shot of a FAMO with tactical markings showing. Success!
Now my FAMO has a complete set of markings (as complete as I can make them) and it sits on the end of my table waiting varnishing with my three Sd.Kfz.7/2's AA tracks & trailers and the two HJ Tiger IE's.I didn' t spend all day on my FAMO.
I took a hard look at my Gross Deutschland panzergrenadiers and realized I had too many. So I set the force up for both mid-war and late-war (with panzerfausts) and realized I had a whole panzergrenadier company sans support. A few finishing touches and its e-Bay for them too.
I have no life...lol
Tim, they call him...
