Pulp 60's Armoured Division

OK, Not a proper armoured division, purely a pulp version. AC, HQ, Tank troop and SP RA detachment only...

I like the way they have turned out. Still not 100% on the colour but it is growing on me.

The Division is completely fictional so you won't find this Divisional sign anywhere. I'll probably call it something like the 1st North British Armoured Division or something. Certainly that would be a reasonable working name. Plus the colours on the badge look Scottish.

The Daimlers have been given different squadron insignia rather than all having the same one. So technically I suppose each armoured car represents a squadron. I should probably have done the same thing with the tanks. The Dingo (or Ferret? think it's a Dingo. Must check what is says underneath) is marked as a HQ vehicle.

When it came to allocating tyres I prioritised the armoured cars. As yet, the new tyres for this lot haven't arrived. Part of the Saracens missed being sprayed which I hadn't noticed - now corrected!

So that is the main part of  the pulp armoured division. Still got a few support vehicles to arrive and refurbish but this lot are enough for the fighting bit. Thinking about it, might incorporate some of my cheap Chinese missile trucks for AT and/or AA defence.

Last orders

This little lot pretty much gives me everthing I need in the 20mm range apart from, perhaps, a couple of Saladins. Total cost £15 so still well in target price band.
Interesting comparison. Dinky at the top, Corgi at the bottom. Both models are the same width but the Dinky model is longer. So one of them got their measurements wrong!

Big advantage of these - they all have intact tyres!
