These Militia Pickup Trucks are from the Battlefront Red Dawn background for Team Yankee.
With the war in Europe hitting a standstill, the Soviet Union has taken a bold decision to invade North America. Utilising their elite airborne forces they strike into the heart of America in a two-pronged attack. First through the Canadian province of British Columbia and into Alberta and then from the Gulf of Mexico into Texas. Using elite Air Assault Battalions they make surgical strikes on key infrastructure and secure their route inland. With them comes their staunch ally, Cuba. Though they have older equipment, the Cubans are well-trained and determined. Facing them are the US and Canadian home forces, as well as the various militia groups that have sprung up to fight against the invasion!
There are four pickup trucks.
The models come in a blister pack. Resin models with metal parts.
You get four pickup trucks, each armed with an HMG.
There are four resin trucks, with metal wheels and gunners. The wheels went relatively easy onto the resin trucks. The rollers are a little over scale, but these are nice models.
The gunners I stuck to a piece of wood to paint separately.
Then I gave the models a white undercoat.
The pickup truck bed gunners I used a variety of Citadel contrast paints as a base for the models.
I also have a spare militia from that blister which I am going to add to one of the pick up trucks.
I gave one of the pick up trucks a wash of a grey shade.
This needs more work.
The other I sprayed. Army Painter Desert Yellow Spray. The wheels were then painted dark grey.
I then gave the model a wash using a shade.
More work to do.
