This is a 72nd scale kit from MasterBox, and I’ve aslo added a small PE set from NorthStar specifically dedicated to this subject. Below is an actual wartime photo:
From what I understand, these third series of cars where specifically built for Russia - though that does not aid in the matters of trying to determine what colour they actually were finished in. This particular build represents a vehicle captured by the Austro-Hungarians. Their plan was to utilize a mixed platoon of vehicles collected from both captured and their own designs, and to be utilized in the breakthrough created on the Italian front. Time ran out though for the chance to finally realize the potential of the armoured car.
Beautiful project there, Jack! Build & finishing just superb.
Love these old-era armoured cars: always reminded of a veteran’s description I read in some long ago memoir…saying they looked like ‘angry dust-bins with wheels!’
