RED FRONT TECHNICALS !

In yet another bid to restore the battered reputation of the Communists in Herefordshire, Commissar Moody of the Presteigne "Bureau Desinformatziya" has opened the "Presteigne Motor Show and International Sales Exhibition", a trade gathering devoted to the technical superiority of all Communist made products, including the famous PMW 1.5 ton truck. 

New models of the "PMW" entering service with the Communist 2nd and 3rd Shock Armies have been armed in a variety of interesting ways:

PMW 1.5 ton trucks with "20mm Oerlikon Cannon"

These PMW "Technicals" did useful service with Comrade Colonel Knokisblokov's 2nd Shock Army
at the Autumn Big Game 2021. Guns and drivers converted (and ancient) Tudor Rose plastics.
Gunners converted from the OOP PSC 28mm Soviet Infantry

These PMW "Technicals" are fresh from the factory floor. Drivers ancient "Tudor Rose" plastics;
Heavy Machine Gun and Gunner from a modern plastic USMC playset.

Another view. The USMC gunners were so "indistinctly modelled"
that there is no problem passing them off as 1938 Soviets!

The "heavy boys" - PMWs with Recoiless Rifles (of the 3rd Shock Army)
Drivers Tudor Rose again; guns converted from a cheap plastic Hong Kong WW2 joblot.
There is some speculation as to the calibre of these "Red RCLs", ranging from "75mm to 175mm".
However, as the entirety of the Hereford VBCW deals only in Imperial Measures (obviously)
this is completely meaningless to most.

The gathering of Soviet "Technicals" from the 2nd and 3rd Shock Armies respectively
at the Presteigne Motor Show and International Sales Exhibition.
Death to Fascism! On to Hereford!
All power to Comrade Colonel Professor Winters and the Presteigne Soviet !
