And for those of us who remember those old black Citroens in VN.
The roads were clogged with them in VN civvie hands. Makes a good dio idea, of a few Citroens passing a convoy of M-113's and M-48's.

heh.. reminds me of some Combat! episodes I've watched recently. Lots of french resistance dashing about whooping butt in various trucks in that series.
The SAS jeep and covered Willys Jeep look the same to me as the ones that have been out for a while?
Great find!

The Willy's Jeep and SAS version are nothing new, they have been out since 2004 I believe. I have both versions. They are nice and fully detailed.
