With simmer in the air I decided tonight to get stuck into the AEC Armoured Car that Gerard Davey had kindly scatchbuilt for me. I added a BESA MG into the turret and cut down a 75mm PAK to resemble a 6 pounder. I also added towing hooks, some tarps, a pack and a stowage bin on the lower side.
Spare wheel, taken from the Airfix Scammell trailer, jerrican and a cam net.
Once the glue had set I gave it a base coat of British Racing Green, as I have an almost full can and could not be bothered brush painting the first layer.
A coat of Light Olive Green and touched up the tyres.
Tarps and jerricans were given a military green to contrast.
I probably will add a little foliage to the net once it is dry.
Decals next and some weathering. I have a good feeling about this.
Model on!
Wow!! Looking very nice.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rodger, the decals will add a splash of colour I hope.

Now that is good work sir.
ReplyDeleteComing along nicely. That'll be a lovely addition to your late war Brits.
ReplyDeleteNice Work
ReplyDeleteThats a great little model. Amazing it'scratch built. I don't have any skill in that area.
ReplyDeleteThat's looking great!
ReplyDeleteHi Fran, Gerard is the real master here. I am the more slap and stick type.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Hi Tim, yes my Brits seem to be receiving some top notch equipment for a change.
ReplyDeleteThanks Geordie, I may well ruin it yet!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul, I think we are in the same boat mate. Other than the wheels I would not know where to start.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul
Thanks Steve, scrubbing up well I think.
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
That's an awesome addition mate. I like the little details you have added, did these see cold war service?
ReplyDeleteCheers Al, served right up until the late 50's, and maybe into the early 60's.
ReplyDeletenicely done.
