Bash on Recce!

The Mantovian Royal Army has been upgraded with some armoured reconnaissance assets to fill out the light cavalry regiments.

Ferret armoured cars and Landrovers. 

wondering if I should hit the windscreens with some gloss varnish, or blue airbrush paint

I picked the Ferret because it's rather ubiquitous, was widely used, and most importantly, it's as cute as button.

Two of my Ferrets had their turrets coming away, so I experimentally gave them a tug, revealing the open top for the Mk. 1. After cleaning up the uncured resin, I added the upper body of some spare infantry in suitable poses and a couple of MGs on AA mounts from the Bits Box, left over from building Sdkfz251s.

They will be supported by Fireflies until the Comets arrive from Don. I'm undecided if the Comets will be from a separate regiment or just a "Heavy Squadron," like WW2 German armoured recce battalions had a schwere kompanie of the Sdkfz 234s to support the 222s.

The Tartarians are using BTR40 scout cars supported by T34/85 tanks.

Now to design a scenario for them.
