Rolls Royce Armored Car ~ 1920

This is the 1/35 scale MENG kit that came out a few years ago. Fit and details are good. Beware of the 4 different versions. Be sure to follow all of the parts options for the version you want to build before starting. 

After taking these photos I realized the headlamps were too clean.  That has since been corrected. 

The markings on the top of the turret were a 3 piece decal. 

The kit comes with two types of wheels and tires.  The 1914 initial versions were plastic multi part with photo etched wire inserts.  Yuck.  I built those very carefully then realized that I needed the full rubber wheels and solid hubs, much easier, for the later versions.

Painted with enamels, oils and pigment powders.
