theanorak73 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 My second ever Armour kit just had to be the Tamiya LRDG command car. You get a lot of plastic for your money with a lot going on. It's more or less built out the box and took just 3 weeks to build. I didn't use all seven figures but then that's not really a practical option but I did use the "leaning guy" creatively and have him up on the rear gun. Just to say... as with all my builds, historical accuracy is not a big concern of mine. Great kit and despite being old still builds up well. A bit dull out for taking photos but I hope you Approve of the results, enjoy... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I remember building the LRDG as a teenager. I don't recall all these figures though. I think I must have had the 'non-command car' version, with maybe just a driver and crewmate. It was a lovely kit though, and so, it appears, is this one. A nice job.

theanorak73 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 i understand its a joint boxing of three kits. you still get the car/truck with driver and gunner. you also get one spruce of oil drums, fuel cans and equipment plus a set of five masterbox figures. you are still given the original instructions from the kit you are talking about plus separate ones for the other parts.

Modelholic Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Great build. Just love the look of the LRDG vehicles. So busy looking. I keep considering modelling some LRDG but have never seemed to get around to it! One little thing I've noticed is the .50 cal MG mount is the wrong way around. It should be 'bent' with the top towards the gunner so the gun can elevate a little further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
