gamevender Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) This is the Roden 1/72 1920 pattern Rolls Royce armoured car kit. It needs careful assembly and attention to many fit problems. I replaced rthe fighting compartment doors and opened the turret hatches and added an interior.

Hairtrigger Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Splendid piece of work. I did the HMAC AJAX version ... Did you find the moulding slightly offset for the tyres? I intended to get the 1\35 version, but was a little put off after building mine, it worked out in the end though after a lot of work. I think I expected better from Roden .. I like the way you have done the headlights and added the front grill. Edited February 25, 2018 by Hairtrigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamevender Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Roden kits suffer from the same affliction as Heller kits, If a part can be molded in2 pieces or 4 pieces with no difference in detailing, they both opt for more pieces. There was no need for the turret to be molded in 4 pieces, It just made for more seams to worry about. And what the heck was with those boxes on top of the bed sides? A bottom and then a top with the sides molded as part of it that you had to fold down like they were PE. And nothing really fit well. And the instructions were ludicrous. And on and on and on..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I found the turret went together perfectly, but the instructions poor. I needed to consult other references a fair bit and found YouTube invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Very impressive for such a tiny scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Very nice indeed, could easily pass for a larger scale. I did the 1/35th one, it doesn't go together any better than yours. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
