First Post - Romanian Flak Platoon, War of the Vampyre


These are my latest Romanian additions to my fictional WW2 based alternative history about a war between Hungary and Romania over Transylvania (hence the War of the Vampyre) set in 1948, details of this alternative history (called WW2.5) can be found here. The models are Heroics & Ros/Armstrong Miniatures and are 2cm FLAK 38 suf Somua halftracks (code G214). These are the final vehicles for the 1:1 scale mechanised brigade I have been building.
