Good luck with your "conversion" and I would be curious to see the progress of the truck!

Hi Cliff thank you very much , I'll wait news from you!! :)

Kuno like Cliff just told you the Tamiya quad is the only 1/35 model with the same front,
I've seen your work, good stuff!!!!!

I've found an artwork of the rear van documentation I'm looking for, here it is:

Australian version
 

This one is owned by John Belfield and is a Ford.

@ lulli; will see if I can find any further pics. Probably not with the BREDA but at least for the truck...

For Kuno , great pics , I don't care if there isn' t the breda , now I'm looking for particular of the rear van only. ;-)

Thanks to all Luca

The italian magazine "storia & bataglie" (not sure, if I am spellng it correct) showed once side-drawings of many various types of portees in italian use. I remeber that they did not only present italian types of trucks but as well one or two CMP. However; it might be that they were just normal CMP "missused" to carry a gun.
