Title: New armored cars from Copplestone

Hi

We now have the first 2 of the next batch of our new range of 1/55th scale WW1/Interwar armoured vehicles:

http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/latest.php

K52 Lancia 1ZM - a stylish Italian WW1 armoured car that was used in the Spanish Civil War and early stages of WW2.  It was also the mainstay of the Albanian mechanised forces - £18

K53 Mgebrov-Renaud Single-Turret Armoured Car - a chunky and unusual Russian WW1 vehicle - £20.

K54 Mgebrov-Renaud Twin-Turret Armoured Car - £20

Like our existing Vickers Independent and Vickers Medium Mk.III they are 1/55th scale kits with light-weight resin hulls and white metal wheels and guns etc.

Coming next the Putilov-Garford Heavy Armoured Car:

all nice stuff, what is it with these armoured cars? they seem like buses - you wait ages for one of them then they all come at once  :)

For what it's worth, have worked out the details, and I still plan on releasing our own Garford some time in the next month or two.
