Default New Tobruk movie, cab 12 F60L

I don't know if this has been posted on the Forum before, but it seems there is a new (Czech) Tobruk movie coming up. You will find some screen shots here:

This one is particularly interesting. Would this be the F60 from the Rokycany museum in a new paint scheme?...

Looks very promising! The landscape is similar than what we would actually see around TOBRUK. I just hope that the scenes in the sanddunes should not play at TOBRUK because you won't find any of the within at least several hundred of kilometres...

Default The F60L

They went to soooo much trouble but forgot about the mirrors and the funny fuel filler neck... also looks like a horn in the wrong place.

The art department have had a field day weathering it.

Default looks nice

That's not a bad effort . Only nerds like us would pick on the detail errors . I'd rather see a truck like that .... than the horrors you see in those 1960's movies .

I was involved in a TV mini series in 1984.. a story set in 1940, The Dunera Boys .I told the props person Jeeps were not around then, especially here in OZ . No, it's in the script she said .. They even had a Land Rover making up the numbers in a few of the long distance convoy scenes ! Some interesting people on the set. John Mellion, Bob Hoskins, Warren Mitchell , Maurie Fields .A few of us from the VMVC supplied vehicles ... I was driving C. Andersons Marmon around a lot.. The director wasn't impressed with me ... they had a scene set up .. 'action' .. the truck ran out of petrol ...if looks could kill ..oh dear .
