Meng Armoured Car

[Faraway]

Has anyone made the British Rolls-Royce Armoured Car Pattern 1914/1920 by Meng ?

I was thinking of adding it to my ‘to build’ stock.

It's a good kit, albeit with a few rough areas that need a little attention. It builds up into a nice model though.

 

My build is here

Thanks Andy. Looks worth a go.

The kit can only be built OOB as a 1918 Pattern, of which only 3 or 6 (different sources) were built.  Meng have confused their configurations.

 

You need after-market disc wheels for a 1920 Pattern or the original lower-sided turret for a 1914 Pattern.  Wee Friends do a replacement turret and there are a couple of sources of wheels.
