WD Models 1/76 Austin Armoured Car, Type III

This is a very nice resin model of this A/C. Most were sent to Russia, but after the 1917 revolution, that was stopped and the surplus shipped to France where they equipped a squadron in the BEF. It's off road mobility was lacking and the chassis was overloaded, so performance was below par and they were stricken off the lists after the war. I think some wound up in Ireland.

Great work and the camouflage adds the the uniqueness.  At first I did not realize it was small scale.

Beautiful work Ron! I think Roden does this same model in injection molded plastic. I'm gonna have to pick one up and use your models as a fine reference. I can only hope mine turns out half this great!
