I always liked the Universal Carrier, aka the Bren Gun Carrier.

SPA-Viberti AS.42 Sahariana
SPA-Viberti AS.42 Sahariana
WW2 Italian reconnaisaance car, rather like an oversized dune buggy. Used the same chassis as the AB 41 armoured car, including its four-wheel steering, specifically for desert operations, primarily in a reconnaissance role. http://www.internetmodeler.com/2008/...ahariana_1.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped.../23/AS42-1.gif Fast, long-ranged, maneuverable, armed with MGs and/or 20mm autocannon, or even a 47mm cannon. The Sahariana engine located in the rear which gave it enough space in the middle of the hull to accommodate up to five fully equipped men and weapons, though the mission crew seldom exceeded three or four. The open compartment's only overhead protection was a waterproof canvas sheet. The AS 42 had front and rear internal fuel tanks of 200 litres each with an additional 24 externally mounted jerrycans holding 80 litres of water and 400 litres of fuel. The AS 42 Sahariana's performance was very good, but it was expensive to manufacture and the vehicle was mechanically complicated. Seats 4-5. On of the best high-mobility vehicles produced before the HumVee. And I love the big tires. Uncle Ted |
