Hi folks, Looking forward to this GB - it will be nice to have this running alongside my Meteor GB entry so I can go back and forward between the two. So here's my entry - something a bit more unusual - the Soviet BA-10 Armoured Car from Hobby Boss. I don't think there's one in the running so far (although I think I've spotted a BA-6) 👍 So, obligatory box art and sprue pics below: I haven't decided on which of the paint schemes I'd like to do yet, although I do know it will be one of the Soviet schemes and not the German one. Please let me know if anyone has a preference and I could always go with the general consensus 👍 Good luck to everyone with their builds - looks like it's going to be a really interesting GB and looking forward to seeing the results in the gallery at the end Best wishes Kris

Dear Colleagues Enclosed is my last model of 2020. A year when society actually encouraged us to stay indoors and get down to serious modelling, not that we needed much persuading. In truth the BA-10 was more of an armoured lorry than fully functioning armoured car. A modest 50 HP was powering two rear axles only. On the plus side this was probably the most powerfully armed armoured car of the period and ran on solid tyres. The few that survived Operation Barbarossa probably had their small moment of glory in the November winter counter offensive in front of Moscow. The HobbyBoss kit has a nice quality of plastic and sensible parts breakdown. However, the headlights fall off as soon as you sneeze shortly followed by the front bumper (brass)! The fit of the lower sloped armour plates and front mud guards are somewhat vague. The only aftermarket used were the resin wheels from PanzerArt (designed for the Miniart Gaz) Here you can see my team working on the chassis and engine Where the heck are we? The rear view rather reminds me of the daleks! Hope you like? Looking forward to more freedom in 2021 Andrew
