Here are some Flames of War M5 Half Tracks from Simon’s collection.
Had a few photographic problems, hence the “false” colour look of the images.

Flames of War Humber Armoured Cars
The Humber Armoured Car was one of the most widely produced British armoured cars of the Second World War. It supplemented the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car and remained in service until the end of the war.
From Simon’s collection.
Underneath the Shermans
In a similar vein to my Stugs I have painted the underneath of the resin Shermans from the starter box set with Chaos Black.
This will add shadow and make the models look a little more realistic on the table.
See the full workbench feature on the resin Shermans from Open Fire.
Humber Light Reconnaissance Car
The Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, also known as Humberette or Ironside, was a British armoured car produced during the Second World War. The vehicle was used by Infantry Reconnaissance Regiments and the RAF Regiment in Tunisia, Italy and Western Europe. After the war, some vehicles remained in service with the British units in India and in the Far East. The LRC was used widely by the Reconnaissance Corps and was also used by the Reconnaissance squadron of the 1st Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group.
From Simon’s collection.

Flames of War Rolls Royce Armoured Cars
The Rolls-Royce armoured car was a British armoured car developed in 1914 and used in World War I and in the early part of World War II.
Having undercoated my two Flames of War Rolls Royce Armoured Cars, I gave the models a basecoat of Warpaint British Armour.
15mm Morris 15 cwt truck
These Morris 15 cwt trucks are from Simon’s collection.
Wheeling the Dingo
The Daimler Scout Car, known in service as the “Dingo” (after the Australian wild dog), was a British light fast 4WD reconnaissance vehicle also used in the liaison role during the Second World War.
The Flames of War blister comes with three of them. I gave the vehicles a basecoat of Warpaint British Armour. I started to paint the wheels using German Grey (995), I might add some black to the mix though.

Tracking the Challenger
The Tank, Cruiser, Challenger (A30) was a British tank of World War 2. It mounted the 17 Pounder gun on the Cromwell chassis to add heavier anti-tank firepower to the cruiser tank units.
The next stage was detailing the tracks and equipment. I started to paint the tracks using German Grey (995).
