Hi all,

My next large project is about the South African Marmon-Herrington armored car family. I've already done Mk.IV and Mk.VI, but there are a lot to be done for the earlier Mk.I to Mk.III, especially for the Mk.II variants. There are several allied countries got the Marmon-Herrington series. I will upload all the versions within the South African Army first, then group the others by countries.

Marmon-Herrington Mk.I. This type produced between April 1940 to November 1940. It has a 4x2 chassis, armed with two .303 Vickers water-cooled SMGs, one on the turret, the other on the left side of the body. The Mk.I only equipped in the South African Army.

The icon has a two-tone Mediterranean camo I prepared. I made three variants of this type of camo and will upload here later after I finished all the Marmon-Herringtons.

Marmon-Herrington Mk.II series. Starting from this type, they used the all-wheel drive chassis, which gave much better off-road abilities. The production was between Spring 1940 to Spring 1941. It has two subtypes, one called MFF (Mobile Field Force), with the same armaments to MK.I; the other called ME (Middle East), armed with a Boys AT rifle and a Bren LMG, all in a slightly enlarged turret.

The South African Army also had a field modification type of the MK.II, which the turret got removed and mounted a captured Italian 47/32 AT gun.

All the three SA Marmons are applied with the two-tone Mediterranean camo.

Marmon-Herrington MK. III. This type produced between mid-1941 to late 1942, and it has the largest number of the entire family, 2630 went off the production line. The Mk. III has a new engine, a shortened body, and a redesigned turret. The armament consists of a Boys AT rifle and a Vickers .303 SMG.

There is also a field modification in South African Army, by removing the turret and mounted a Italian 47/32 AT gun.

The British Army in Africa used Marmon-Herrington Mk. II and Mk. III. Here are the three Mk. IIs.

Beside the three above, the British Army also converted some Mk. IIs with captured German 3.7 cm Pak 36 AT gun. The other icon here is Marmon Mk. III.

The next user of the Marmon-Herrington armored cars is the New Zealand Army. Starting from 1941, they got a number of Mk.II Middle East versions fought in Greece and North Africa. Here I prepared the New Zealanders the famous Caunter Scheme camo. They also mounted an extra Vickers SMG on top of the turret for air defense. Another field modification is using captured Italian Breda 20/65 AA gun instead.

The Free Polish Army used Marmon-Herrington series in both North Africa and Europe. In NA they had MK.II with addition Bren LMG on top of the turret, and later MK.III. The Free Polish is also the only troops brought some MK.IVFs to the European theater.

I almost forgot the German captured ones. They mounted the French 25mm SA34 on the opened turret base.

Hi there,

Now I'm going to upload some new camo skins/thumbnails I prepared. Each post will includes the skin files combo and a unit example with that camo.

The South African Mediterranean two tone camo variant 1. The example is the Achilles tank destroyer, issued to the South African army in Italy from early 1945.

The second variant of the Mediterranean camo, with the example of Sherman MK.V.

The third type of the Mediterranean camo. I use this one to apply the Sherman MK.III.

Very nice skins! Great work

they look great:-) thank you

Start from today, I will upload my DCS skins for French vehicles. As we know, the French army in WW2 were very creative for their camouflages, not only for the armored vehicles, but also soft skins. My skins are all based on the color reconstructions from the French GBM magazines. Each post will includes the two camo files plus one example of the unit.
Camo #1 is a two tone version with the dark green base and red brown belts vertically placed. The example is a Bucciali AM41
