My friend AJ told me about some auctions on eBay for 1/50 scale vehicles from Corgi for my Bolt Action army. I ordered a couple of vehicles as the prices were just great. The first one arrived in the mail today. It is even better than I had hoped. The 1/50 scale is really great with 28mm figures.
The model itself is good. This is a Sdkfz 7 artillery tractor with a Quad 20mm gun. It is a die cast model with working tracks and front wheels while the gun rotates completely and elevates and depresses. Details are nice with a good paint job.
Here are some photos of the models with some of my Germans for size comparison.

| The paint job is adequate for the wargame table. The truck is very large. In the German Army book for Bolt Action this vehicle can carry up to 12 men. It can also tow everything up to an 88mm Heavy AT gun. |

| Another advantage is that the vehicle can be an SP gun, albeit in a pretty weakly armored vehicle. |
I think this vehicle is perfect for my Hermann Goering army. I have a couple of more models on the way. Can't wait to show you all pics of them, because they are going to go with the army just as well! Where have these been all this time!

Well, there's no hiding it any more. We really are playing with "toy soldiers" :)
Looks even BETTER with your figures next to it. Glad it worked out so well! I might have to get me a couple of those.
