Rolls Royce Armored Car - 1914* FINISHED

 Rick- yes it looks like a VERY nice kit ! No doubt more $$, but if you want details(and yes we do) then you got the one, I bet. So yes, the plastic kit  has no wire wheels(later ya say?)  Wire Wheels are VERY stylish aren't they? And correct for your model, but a good idea on a WarWagon? I guess in it's day there was a lot less things that could blow it off it's wheels, but if it happened... As Dirty Harry would say : "It's a hellofa price for being stylish"

Thanks guys, I'll get more progress up soon.

 

INDY...I don't have the Roden kit so I can't compare quality.  It appears that Roden has modeled a latter version of the RR (note solid wheels).  

As for price comparisions:  Resin kits are generally more expensive than injection, and this is a VERY nice kit!!!

 

Rick

Cool Rick I am glad you are going to share this with us from the beginning so we can see the magic! 

 

Wow, nice work, Rick---you really tricked out that engine...leave the bonnet open!

Rick - And now for something different!! Neat little armored car. Looks like a cool kit to build.

Rounds Complete!!

Like what I see so far Rick, and it's a WW1 subject too! Looking forward to more.
