Default Re: Spanish OOB32 and OOB33 v.11 (2018)

Spain OOB33:

29 SdKfz 223 (Fu) - photo is SdKfz 221, could be 27523

287 CB FA-I - if they were delivered in 10/36 to Republic, it seems it should take a couple months before they were captured and reused.. [now 9/36] Same for 289 CB BA-6 delivered at the same time.

294, 304 CCI Tipo 1937 - I've found no information, that MG-only armed variant existed, only 20mm one is described. Anyway, it was one prototype, so the first entry should end before the second one. BMG was actually twin 7 mm Hotchkiss.
Speed was only 36 km/h [now 15] - "Blindados en Espana" book and http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww...CI-Tipo-37.php

298,299 CL T-26 (E) - better photo with Nationalist markings is 18083 (as unit 295)

301 Verdeja I - with is extremely low profile, size might be 2 - http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww...n/verdeja-no-1
CMGs should be twin, not separate.
The only prototype was tested already from 1/39 [now 4/39]

306 Verdeja II - it's actually Verdeja SPG http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww...7540mm-verdeja , not Verdeja II http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww...n/verdeja-no-2 (which was a prototype tank from 8/44)
Verdeja SPG was rebuilt from Verdeja I not earlier, than in May 1945

409,410 CTV Lancia IZ, IZM - according to "Blindados en Espana" book, both variants disembarked on 22 December 36 [now 6/36 and 2/37]. Armament of Lancia IZM was two independent MGs in a turret and rear MG. Now it has twin MG and a BMG, but turret MGs were individually operated, so maybe they should be single #228 TMG, while rear MG had no practical usage apart from withdrawing. Lancia IZ has a single 6.5mm MG now, but it should have two as well. It also had a single smaller top MG turret, but it isn't clear if they were mounted anymore.
Better icon is 1494, more similar and with two machine guns.
Crew according to that book and https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_1Z was 6 (as in Italian OOB).

Same for units 415,416 Lancia IZ, IZM (which use different icon BTW)

BTW: same for Italian OOB units 65,66 Lancia IZ, IZM as for icon (or variants 1495, 1497) and weapons

346 Infanteria Azul - a minor thing, but a picture are German FJg with their specific helmets

That should be all for Spains.
