CSM 1/35 Minerva


Recommended Posts

This is my attempt at building a Belgian gendarmerie Minerva. After WWI  the gendarmerie used these vehicles during the occupation of Germany. 
Top speed was 40 km per hour for a weight of 4 ton

Weight, small tires and lack of power meant they had to stay on roads (limited weathering of the model)

The Belgians often drove the vehicle reverse in conflict as the back was better protected.

spare tires had to be removed to refuel. 
The driver would often drive the vehicle standing up

....times have changed....


The kit is very nice, I’d say better than their Lanchester I build a year ago, which is generally acknowledged as a good kit. I’ll certainly buy more stuff from them.
