Very nicely done. Not a fan of the wheels .I think it'd look better with my wheels.  ;D
Joking aside you've scrubbed it up nicely. I've not actually seen one this well done. I am going to have and do some reading up.As I'm not familiar with a variant with the angled view ports for the driver and a curved roof. Bit unusual to try and open a curved plate anchored at three different points on its curve. But stranger things have happened and you learn something every day.
Thanks for posting .

Nicely done! Is that lofty in the turret?

I think that from all of this, I’ll be buying the 1st Corp Roller as soon as the current crisis at the Excheqer is resolved - thank you all for the advice and comment .... cheers! Harry

It’s a nicely painted model but the inner rivet counter would have me say that Empress have put the taller 1921 pattern turret on a 1914 hull. The 1914 pattern turret is noticeably shallower. Same thing could be said for the First Corps version, if it comes to that. I suppose it came down to economy rather than poor research. One turret, one hull and just swap the wheels for wire or solid.

Either way, they both give a good impression of a RR armoured car.

And here we have Armoured Car Cuchulain of the Craggy Island Free State Flying Column.....

Not painted yet as it only arrived today. I’ve not glued on the drop at the back in the hope of being able to stand a figure on the back....

Cheers and thanks to all.....

I should add that 1st Corp delivered insanely quickly and the model was very easy to put together; I’m always a bit nervous about wheels falling off but that’s just ineptitude. Should have seen me putting the Perry Portee together....

Cheers!

I've got the Trenchworx version and found it a relatively easy build:
