It's an unarmed and unarmored car so I think it goes in this category. This is Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery's personal ride during the post Normandy invasion period of the war.

Brush painted with Pollyscale and Humbrol military paints. Not a bad kit at all for it's age and heritage, just wish it was 1/25.

Very nice! The Airfix 1/32 range are actually very nice kits. Some of them have the detail level of 1/25 scale kits. As an American kid growing up in Europe they were all that was available so I became very familiar with them!

Thanks tom,

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this kit was.

Very clean build of an unusual and interesting car. As a former military modeler your paintwork impresses me most. This constant marginal shine on all parts is perfect and really hard to achieve.

Excellent detail. Does the rear seat windscreen fold up?

It doesn't fold but comes with the option of having it up or down. I chose to have it down so that I could add the uptop if i want to.

Most Pollyscale paint has this sheen when brushed on. I thin it with water and apply 3-4 thin coats. I usually overcoat it with Testors Dullcote but didn't this time
