HobbyPaul Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Please count me in, if a Light Armoured Vehicle, Japan Ground Self Defence by Tamiya qualifies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Stuart Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Welcome to the build @HobbyPaul A Japanese Self-Defence Force LAV should be OK, it is armoured and it's a car ... Wikipedia lists them as Armoured Scout Cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Somehow I think I missed this one. Have one of these in the “Stash” : https://www.scalemates.com/kits/dragon-9048-panzerspaehwagen-p204-f--141078# If this GB gets up and I have the time I would like to build it if I can find it as I built a vacuform one of these in the early 80s for another Modeller who reckoned he couldn’t make vacuforms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 With the latest postings (above) re-awakening this subject I thought I'd check out what I'd posted Very odd - my posting of 8/10/20 has disappeared! Its been quoted a couple of times so there was one Anyways, I'm still in. I have the old Airfix M3 US Halftrack and their German Halftrack with 8.8cm gun Are the newer Jackal and Coyote, as used in recent wars, counted as 'armoured cars'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two Airfix kits would be great additions to the build. 1 hour ago, Black Knight said: Are the newer Jackal and Coyote, as used in recent wars, counted as 'armoured cars'?

Black Knight Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Airfix did both the Jackal and Coyote in their 1/48 'Afghanistan War' series and Hobbyboss does the Jackal and will be doing the Coyote, both in 1/35 I have the Airfix kits https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/viewtopic.php?f=334&t=30738 https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/viewtopic.php?f=334&t=30740 I've just remembered I have the Airfix 1/32 ''Rommel's Half-track'' as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Meng provide both the WW1 wire wheels (plastic tyres and rims and PE) and the WW2 solid version (vinyl) . I have been planning to do a small WW1 Mesopotamia diorama including ICM's 1917 ANZAC Model T. I'll hold off now in expectation that this GB is a goer. One to really look forward to.

The spill on that near-side front tyre is intriguing (to me), I'd've expected them to grease the hub, not use a fluid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never too late - until the building over.
