1/144 British AEC Dorchester, Russian BA-6 & USA Ford GPA - Panzer Depot
First out of the Panzer Depot workshop are the following collection of items:
The AEC Dorchester is an interesting one, and I think strange that PD didnt do an "Afrika Korps" captured version as Rommel did use some of these! The BA-6 should also keep people happy as it fills an interesting whole vacated by the pro-hobby items, the Ford GPA is a nice item of interest being the 'little brother' of the more famous DUKW!

1/144 AEC Matador Lorry (Truck) - Panzerdepot

Panzer Depot have released a new item for Feburary, the British AEC Matador Lorry (not truck, these are British remember!) One of the stalwarts of British softskins http://www.aecmilitant.co.uk/

They were used by the British pretty much through out the war and in most theatres of operation, certainly used by the British Army and Royal Airforce and would be surprised if they were not used by the Royal Navye as well?

These should be a welcom addtion to war gamers order of battles and for dioramas alike.

"AEC matador tows 3.7 inch gun, Caen, 7 August 1944."
Interestingly is it my eyes, or is the AEC Matador in the picture towing a German 88mm !!!?

As for the "white star", I believe that post D-Day it was not unusual for British vehicles to be marked with a white star, or white star within a white circle to aid identification of Allied invasion forces to stop "friendly fire" or "Blue on Blue" incidents!
