Finally part 12 and the last part of this project. This project should have been finished more the 6 months ago but because of al kinds of trouble, like none available miniatures, it took a lot longer. At least I got them all painted in time, before the end of the year.
This is the 2nd Panhard AMD-35 Deep Reconnaissance combat platoon.
The colours used to paint this platoon are 895 Gunship Green, 983 Flat Earth, and black for the wheels.All Panhards have a thin black wash. Lastly I used 873 US Field Drab to give them a muddy look.
The difference between this Panhard AMD-35 Combat Platoon and the 1st Panhard AMD-35 Combat Platoon are the roundels on the side of the hull. On the 2nd platoon they are gone and replaced by the Unit symbols.
The Unit symbols that are placed more to the front just below the turret on the 1st platoon are gone on the 2nd platoon. I did this because I read somewhere that some units did replaced the roundel with the Unit symbol. This also became handy for me because I can now keep the 2 platoons apart.

I really like the way that these have turned out. A really iconic french vehicle with a great camo pattern. A really nice strong paintjob and some really great pictures.
