Сергей Никитин Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Good day, colleagues. Heat(in Moscow +35C) - it's time to finish one of England's desert armored vehicles - AEC Armored Car Mk.I A car based on the AEC Matador truck, with a Valentine turret. They were mainly used during battles in Africa and Egypt. It's hard to say anything about the model itself. Just Miniart. Brittle plastic, joining of some parts gives a separate "pleasure" The only thing that really pleased me was the wheels. So pleased that I gave up buying epoxy. The assembly itself is out of the box, a couple of nuances have been improved, the main of which is the Headlight on the tower, "forgotten" by the Miniart. Guys - Miniart, Masterbox Some stuff - Miniart and a little "scratch" Coloring - AKAN. Oil & Pigments - Jimenez & Co. Thank you all for your attention, enjoy your viewing. 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi Сергей Никитин, An interesting vehicle, I imagine it included an interior, although I suspect that it would not look much after assembly ... I love wheels, very real. Cheers and TC Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kind words) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Nice job on that, I really like the weathering, subtle but very effective. These big beefy armoured cars are a favourite of mine. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyGair Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 A Western Desert British Armoured Car, what's not to like?! Lovely job and super paint finish. I have an IBG Marmon-Herrington Mk.II to kick-start again, this has given me a bit of inspiration to do it, I mainly do aircraft. Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
