French Group de Reconnaissance, May 1940

More gallant French for my France 1940 collection in the shape of a rather understrength Group de Reconnaissance. We have one squadron of motorcyclists (with dismounts) and one of obsolete underpowered, undergunned and unreliable Schneider Kegresse P16 armoured half tracks. 

I thought I’d leave the P16 in plain green as they’ll have been hauled out of retirement and issued to a few unlucky recce  units. All were lost during the short campaign. The models are from Early War Miniatures and are tremendous imho. The motorcycle combos are resin 3d prints and the dismounts are from CP Models.

The last picture is of a bit of an oddity but an amusing concept;  a 25mm AT gun mounted on the back of a Lorraine37L Chenillette tractor. This is also from Early War Miniatures.
