Here's my Rolls...and the WiP is here too...Pretty much OOB except for some items from Black Dog Resin (tarp and two boxes).  This has been a very fun GB and I might still have time to add one more to the list if I can get a start on it before I head to Belgium on Wednesday.  I'll look through the stash...

This is ICM's 1/35 V3000S Maultier German Ambulance. This scheme with the white unit and bonnet attracted me, according to the instructions this is a vehicle for late 1944 in Poland. I went full on dirty because of that. And admittedly also because I like doing that. I didn't use the kit decals for the red crosses because only the ones for the sides were supplied. Which is strange, as the box art clearly shows the cross on the bonnet and a part of the one on the roof. I made stencils with my Silhoutte cutter and painted all the crosses instead. The kit's roof rack was replaced with a scratch built one. I added some cans from the spares box, everything else is box stock. There's no interior for the unit supplied with the kit but all the doors are separate items so I guess you could go all out on this one if you wanted to. There's an engine as well but it lacks a bit of detail, I didn't do anything with it. A fun kit to build, some minor annoyances like always but I'm happy with the result. You just have to have respect for guys that drove around in thin skinned vehicles like this, racing around trying to save lives.

ESCI 1/35 Demag D7 (SdKfz 10)

A 1970's kit built OOTB, perished decals and all. Nasty brittle plastic, but it went together without too much fuss.

Lifecolor Panzergrau, everything else Vallejo.

 

ChatGPT says about the Demag: "The Demag D7 half-track was a World War II era armored vehicle used by the German army for transporting personnel and supplies.

It had a distinctive design with a tracked chassis and a partially covered cabin for the crew. Despite its limited speed and armor, it was reliable and versatile, making it a popular choice for many combat operations.

It played a significant role in the early years of the war, especially during the invasions of Poland and France."

IBG 1/35 KTO Rosomak. Painted sort of like a reference photo with turret number 16. Didn't add the engine as you won't see it but did add some crew gear....

Here's my final offering...another Roller, this one from 1940 in Derbyshire.  Lots of fun to build and I'm happy I made it before I turned 58.  Another trip 'round the sun folks!  Many thanks to the Mods for this fine GB.

 

Here's the WiP...

 

 

 

 

oops-a-daisy!

The Komatsu light armored vehicle (Japanese: 軽装甲機動車; (kei-sōkō-kidōsha) is a Japanese military vehicle first produced in 2002. Currently used exclusively by the Japan Self-Defense Force (JSDF), it has seen use in the Iraq War. It is built by Komatsu Ltd. Defense Systems Division in Komatsu, Ishikawa, Japan. Komatsu's factory designator for the vehicle is KU50W.

The exterior resembles the Panhard VBL, used by the French army, but the LAV has 4 doors and a large cabin for carrying soldiers. The LAV can also be transported by air in vehicles like the CH-47J and the C-130H.

 

Hope you like it.

Academy 1/72 M3A1 half track. Built mostly out of the box, but with added supports for the armoured windscreen cover and brackets for the rear racks. The racks themselves are mounted upside down as they will eventually be covered in stowage and as can be seen, there is only detail on one side. Had to make a sacrifice to the carpet monster, as I noticed that one of the tiny hooks off the front bumper has vanished, but I will cover this with some of the Redog stowage set I got.

Rolls Royce Armoured Car 1914 Pattern. Meng 1/35

The kit turret has been modified to represent a 1914 style lower turret.

The wheels are from Copper State Models.

The barricade hook, stowage boxes, drivers visor and radiator doors have been scratch built.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to add the weathering.

Rolls Royce Armoured Car 1920 Pattern with Sand Tyres modification. Roden model in 1:72. Finished as a car from Number 4 Section of Number 1 Armoured Car Company in Egypt 1942. Painted in the Caunter scheme using Lifecolour paints. Challenging build at times but builds eventually into a nice little version of this iconic Armoured Car.
