Does any trade made this Marmon-Herrington armoured car? Perhaps in 00...

Seems beautifil to get a company to load some platforms...

Adelardo, be careful about the Marmon-Herringhton, It's a very old type and really doubt that they had the chance to be transported by the newer OSE N6 types.
The N7 UNRRA of 1944 flatbeds would surely do.
They have been used during the 1946-1949 Civil War, while an older type had been used by the Greek Army during WWII in Northern Africa.
I'll have a look at my books and reference to find out until when they have served.

1945-1949 - During the Greek civil war, IVF armoured cars have their mechanical parts removed and are placed on flat wagons to protect trains.

Thank you for your interest in answering, I really love military talks!

I wrote to those people who were distributing the Marmon-Herrington armoured car in 1:72 to ask for a production in 1:87. In other forum we've done it for 00 models into H0.

They answered me they are not doing this more (distribution) but constructing, so I'll ask if they are restarting by themselves the greek armoured car
