I got a bit more painting done in the last week. The most interesting bits are a pair of 2-pdr portees for my Indo-British North African forces. In the early part of the war in North Africa, there were not enough armored vehicles. To make the 2-pdr antitank gun more mobile, they were adapted to fit in the back of a cutdown truck. These so-called 'portees' combined mobility and firepower, but were very vulnerable to return fire.
I didn't try to cram the whole crew onto the back because it looked too crowded.
A little blurry. Sorry 'bout that.
I also painted a 15-cwt truck and a 3-ton lorry for a motor rifle company.

They look good. I have a unit of Deacons, that surprised a couple people playing early war.

I like the Deacons, but they aren't available on the list I normally use. I can't even get 6-pdrs unless I go "British in Disguise", my term for using Commonwealth troops in British lists.
