Title: Inspiration For VBCW/Interwar Armoured Car
Post by: Captain Darling on May 31, 2016, 11:38:38 PM

In the spirit of "Jones Van" I saw this picture of an actual British Home Guard armoured car from 1940 on the Tanks Encyclopaedia site a (really good place to lose a lot of time!). It loooks like an easy conversion for readily available sedans...a bit of sheet styrene and a few MGs or ATRs...

I have been looking for an excuse to buy the Nuecraft Citroen and this may be it! I was wondering how to make the windows look 'real' but no need if they are armoured!

I see so many possibilities for the Neucraft.

We humans really are a resourceful bunch (when looking at that car).

But we definitely aren't good at lying to ourselves (when seeking justification for its purchase ;)).
