TECHNICALS - ANOTHER ENTRY !

Just behind Major-General Everard's "Technical Achievements" rolls in yet another entry for the Modelling Challenge 2023 : a spectacular "Combat Car" with multi-machineguns from LAF Moriarty (aka John):

Undoubtedly a "snazzy 1930s three colour camouflage scheme", ensuring favour from the Judges.
And how many machine-guns did you say ?

2 heavy machine guns and an LMG, fully crewed, looking good....BUT WAIT....
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG !

There is something wrong ! Spectacular as the camouflage on the "Combat Car" might be, even it can't disguise the fact that the "donor vehicle" is NOT the "cheap cruddy plastic out of scale toy jeep" given away for free at the Spring Big Game 2023 (see HERE). Fleet Street's motoring correspondents suspect it is a Chinese manufactured late period Lledo, possibly with a 20mm crew....HORROR.....

While the Umpires of the Autumn Big Game 2023 ("Big Trouble in Little Hereford") have already given special dispensation for the "Combat Car" to be playable on Saturday 7th October, it is nevertheless wholly unclear how the distinguished panel of internationally renowned Judges will deal with this vehicle for the purposes of the Modelling Challenge 2023.....will it even get over the start line?

Add Edit:

(1). LAF Moriarty unfortunately couldn't make the Spring Big Game 2023, and was therefore unable to collect the "cheap cruddy out of scale Jeep" for the Modelling Challenge - hence the clever improvisation. The Judges Panel's hand has only been stayed by a strong Fleet Street rumour that yet another "non conforming vehicle" is on its way to the concourse of the Modelling Challenge 2023.....
