This is a build of a Lancia Triota 1921 Armoured truck used by the British Army the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Irish Army

during the Anglo-Irish War and the resulting Irish Civil War 1919-1923.

This is what the end result should look like.

The wheels are adapted from the Roden Rolls Royce Armoured Car, as is the suspension and radiator.

The drivers seat and the truck-bed are plastic sheet skinned with Billing Boats strip planking.

For the moment it remains unpainted till I complete the Crossley 25/30 hp Tender which usually went with the Lancia. It makes me think of an early Guntruck.

I was going to post this in the WW1 Theme thread but its now October and I wasn't sure how long it will remain active.

Paddy
