Austin Armoured Car Mk III

[JackG]

Another one of those builds making it over from the the 11th Hour GB.   From what  I understand, these third series of cars where specifically built for Russia - though that does not aid in the matters of trying to determine what colour they were finished in.   This particular build represents a vehicle captured by the Austro-Hungarians.  Their plan was to utilize a mixed platoon of vehicles collected from both captured and their own designs, and to be utilized in the breakthrough created on the Italian front.  Time ran out though for the chance to finally realize the potential of the armoured car.

BigginHill and Andy, thanks to you both.

 

It is a quaint little kit with a small parts count, but you do have to be somewhat aware of what you are doing at times.   The instructions leave a bit open the interpretation about some parts location.  I should have included the wip, so here is the link:
