1:35 Half Track in Polish service vol.2

A second set of markings for half-tracks

With the artillery the half-track proved itself both as a towing vehicle and as a mobile command post. You will therefore find the vehicles with anti-tank and motorized regiments, with signals troops and wherever the body became a platform for a gun. It is precisely this variety that makes the half-track a rewarding model: two vehicles of the same type look different every time once the equipment is built up.

Which units the sheet covers

Three options belong to vehicles of the 1st Polish Armoured Division, namely the 10th Dragoon Regiment in France in June 1944, the motorized artillery regiment in Germany in 1945 and the signals headquarters in the same place a year later. Two vehicles carry the insignia of the 2nd Polish Armoured Division, which was formed in Italy, those of the anti-tank artillery regiment and the Carpathian Lancers Regiment. The last two options are 75 mm self-propelled guns with the Podolian Lancers and the Carpathian Lancers from the autumn of 1945.

Before you start applying them

We recommend splitting the work into two rounds. First place the large insignia on the sides and the front, let them harden overnight and only then add the small national symbols and registration numbers, which are easily floated away by water while a neighboring insignia is being corrected. Finally go over the whole vehicle with a matte varnish and apply the dust and mud only on top of that.

A note on the pair of sheets

The two parts were created as a single whole split in two, which is why some units repeat in them, but never the same vehicle.
