FAI armoured car
« on: March 12, 2012, 12:40:47 PM »
Just finished the FAI Artmoured Car for my Early War Russians. The model is sold by RH Models/Liberation Miniatures and comes as a resin hull and a metal turret and 4 metal wheels. In my example, the turret still had a bit of the plug attatched and next to it was a sizable hole. Easily filled, but still. Also, the front fenders seem too small to fit the wheels properly, but other then that it is easy to build and a nice representation of the FAI. My army only needs 1 anyway. The model retails for 4,99 UK Pounds, code MSR10.

Nice work. The casting of the body looks a bit rough in places but it kind of works pretty well on the wheel arches.

Yup, it shows in the back too. As far as I know, this is a model taken over from another company so is quite old to begin with. Still, most problems were easy to fix and as you say, the damage to the wheel arches adds to the charm  :)
