Scotties Rolls Royce

[scottie3158]

I lost the mojo for the radio truck again so it has been put away again for a while.

So next up is the Meng Rolls Royce. This is the first Meng offering for me, on initial inspection it looks nicely moulded in tan styrene. The kit gives you the choice of 4 vehicles, two from WW1 and two from WW2. for the WW1 offerings the kit includes PE spokes for the wheels. It would be nice if they supplied a forming jig to bend the spokes to the correct shape as supplied by other manufacturers . For the later versions vinyl tires are included. There are 4 sprues, the main body is a one piece offering, a clear sprue supplies the light lenses and a decal sheet. A colour sheet is supplied for the various finishes.

I will be going for a WW2 vehicle finished in a caunter scheme.

I also have an aftermarket PE set from Russia which looks very nice.

Hopefully you can join me along the way with banter, pointers and advice.





cheers
Scottie

Hi Scottie
I love the look of these old armoured cars. They must have been pretty obsolete by WW2. I seem to remember Lawrence of Arabia used one in the desert. I'll enjoy this. Who makes the PE set?

[Neil Merryweather]

NICE!

 

[Steve Jones]

Oh yes!! Seat front and centre for this one. I have loads (I mean loads) of photos and reference material from when I built it, if you need them mate. Good luck

Mark, I like it as well might look at something from this era for my next build.

Bob, I know but this looks out of place next to the helicopter and lambourgini.

Hi Rick, welcome aboard mate, I'm glad your keeping an eye out she does tend to sneak up when your not looking.

Welcome aboard mate, at least he will stop you nicking the buscuits.

Ian, I fancied these as well but didn't hear very good reports about the Roden offering so didn't bother.

Always room for you matey keep an eye on JR he will be near the nibbles.

Well it a Rolls Royce, but not as we know it.

It does seem an expensive chassis to make an armoured car out of.

very true I wonder if you could still here the clock tick.

Bet that it's not going to be pink "Yus m'lady"

Nice selection Paul. Seated by John, Jim and Steve while Andy keeps poking my neck saying down in front . Hey I’m 6’2” and slouching is bad posture
