Andy Moore Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This is Meng's new Rolls Royce armoured car, which can be built in either the 1914 Pattern WWI version or, as seen here, a 1920 Pattern in WWII desert configuration. It's a decent kit, albeit one with a few iffy areas that you wouldn't expect from a Meng kit. Despite that, it's still lightyears ahead of the old Roden kit and builds into a very nice model. The caunter was painted with a mix of AK's Real Color shades and some Tamiya mixes, mainly for the Silver Grey as the AK version didn't look very convincing. The full build can be found here Thanks for looking Andy 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Another cracking build Andy,like the weathering, particularly the tires the way the dust looks like it has been spun out from the wheels going around, you seem to have a eye for these details with all your builds 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Absolutely and completely stunning!! Wonderful work again Andy (and beautifully photographed as usual!)

Jo NZ Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 A beautiful build. One minor comment - should it have German pattern Jerricans, which weren't issued until 1939? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Caunter scheme was in use in North Africa 1940-41 so yes, I'd think this pattern of Jerry can could well be appropriate. Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Moore Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks for the comments, everyone. 5 hours ago, Jo NZ said: One minor comment - should it have German pattern Jerricans, which weren't issued until 1939? Yes, they'd be appropriate here. These are actually British issue cans, complete with War Department stamps. Those, and the POW cans on the other side, are from the same Bronco accessory set, which is a very handy set to have around when you need to clutter up a build with general stuff. Actually, I say the cans are accurate, but I need to check to be sure. There are two varieties of jerry can in the set, some stamped '1940' and some '1943' although otherwise, they're identical. I think I used the 1940 versions here, but you can't read the moulded text without a magnifying glass. The '43's wouldn't be out of the question, but far less likely than the '40's.

Hairtrigger Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Very fine result.. Enjoyed the WIP. I've done the Roden 1/72 and wanted the Roden1:35 version for some time, but the Meng looks far superior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bazer, No, probably not a base for this one, at least not in the short term. Too many other projects to finish off first. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Very nicely built, painted & weathered. Having wrestled the Roden kit into submission this looks far superior. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacificmustang Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Took me a while to track this down after seeing your photos come through on my Flickr feed. Well worth the hunt! Absolutely gorgeous model Andy Colours, build and photography are sublime as usual. Regards Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
