Hello,
It took a while, but here are finally the pictures of my finished armoured bus.
The vehicle is 3d printed, the files come from "Fylde Armouries" and were slightly modified by me and reduced to 1/72.
When painting it, I tried to follow the two well-known photos of the original.
I didn't hit it completely. However, the model was only designed based on these photos, so upon closer inspection you will notice that various details in the photos are slightly different than on the model. So it's more of an approximation than a replica.
What attracted me to it is that this is definitely a vehicle that you rarely see anywhere as a model!
But despite all the exoticism, the clumsy box-shaped structure makes it seem boring, which is why I have put two of its contemporaries (Beaverette Mk.III with Bren turret, prototype & series model) alongside it in the last two pictures.
Of course, this “series” doesn’t end there for me. There are still a number of such home guard and emergency or stop gap vehicles on my wish list. Let's see which vehicle makes it onto the work bench next.
Best regards,
Andi
