Flames of War Hungarians

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Three Csaba Armoured cars (Rock the Csaba) and a sixth booby trap ready for Corrivalry next weekend. 

Work in progress (A rake's progress?)


Csabas




Oh, it appears to have dropped 2" of snow in two hours here!

The rake is a bit subtle

The WIP picture totaly confused me, was trying to workout where the legs in the background fitted in

Will, your booby traps are brilliant.  Career with acme maybe?

[nikharwood]

Nicely done, Will, nicely done

As a confirmed magyarophiile - very nice indeed!

If your army is meant to be besieged in Budapest, there is some other funky stuff you could have (though I suppose if it is for FOW army lists then you won't be allowed it). I seem to recall that among the booty the Soviets captured in BP were a Matilda - ex-Soviet Lend-Lease, I suppose - and an Italian M13/40 (or M15/42?), which I think had belonged to a German security unit. And I think the Royal Hungarian Gendarmerie used both Csabas and CV33 tankettes in a dark blue police colour scheme. And then there is all the motley collection of militias and assault units ... but I guess you've got all this covered, FOW's Hungarian resources seem pretty well researched ...

Didn't know about the dark blue Csabas! I can feel a repaint after the competition!

Weirdly different...but in a very inspired way. Nice painting.

Take care

Great work, Will.
I particularly like the way you've done the snow scene. 
Cheers - Phil

Great idea for a booby trap . I can see these making an appearance for my AVBCW forces .

[Maenoferren]

Oh, dear! Is it possible to be expelled from your own thread, Will?

have you considered the row of upturned soup-plates that held up Soviet tanks for hours in 1956 when placed across the road?

Love the armoured cars, though. 

[Chris Pringle]

Don't take my word for blue Csabas, I could be misremembering, it might just have been the tankettes or neither - it's been a while.

Glad tidings for those who want blue Csabas and tankettes! My good friend Dr Stenge confirms:

"The Budapest police forces had around 10 Ansaldos and 2 Csabas in 1944. These were painted in "police blue", dark blue (it was maybe a kin of blackish blue)."
