The next addition to our growing range of 28mm WWI 3D-printed vehicles is the Berliet CBA truck, of which around 40000 were made between 1913 and 1932. It was the most common French transport vehicle of the Great War, with 25000+ reaching the French army, and were especially vital in keeping the frontline of the Battle of Verdun supplied. They were still in service during the 1940 campaign, carrying 75mm guns of the French Mounted Artillery regiments. These old guns, which were designed to be horse-drawn, couldn’t be towed at speeds greater than 5mph so they were transported on the back of the CBAs.
As with our other releases, there are both intact and destroyed versions – the latter looks particularly sad lying on its side… Phil has done a cracking job on the painted version, recreating the Berliet logo on the canvas awning in freehand.
GW28-401 – Berliet CBA – £21.00
GW28-401d – Destroyed CBA – £21.00
