Empress Release Rolls Royce armoured Car.

[Paul @ Empress Miniatures]

Hi All,

We have just released this Rolls Royce Armored Car. Comprising around 50 parts this kit will appeal to both war gamers of a certain persuasion and model makers. The kit is 1/50th scale, which we feel works best with our miniatures and resolves the issue of crew-hatches etc. feeling too small for the figures themselves (especially based figures).

Our first Rolls Royce kit represents an early vehicle with the second pattern turret (higher sides), ideal for operations from late World War One and on into the inter-war period. This kit is extremely comprehensive and includes possible bonnet covers (complete with detailed engine), removable turret roof for operations in hot climates, a fully detailed and removable Vickers machine gun complete with tripod and water bottle, some box-stowage options and even the option to leave off the entire engine compartment for hot work in the back of beyond!

Other details of note include the fully open wire wheels (we believe this is a first in a war-games scale model of the vehicle) and beautifully presented rivet and panel detailing throughout. We don't boast too often, but we firmly believe that this is the best Rolls Royce available in a war-games scale.

 This kit is available in our 'Jazz-Age Imperialism store now. Crews to follow!

I shall have to avail myself of some of your Afghanis for my BoB forces.

What he said.

Actually its not as scary as it sounds. In order to get the open spokes each wheel is moulded in two halves. These glue together with location pips. There are 8 wheels and so 16 pieces. Part of the kit is a complete Vicker MG which can be dismounted from the vehicle, which was common practice, and used dismounted this includes water can, stand, ammo box and belt. 5 pieces. The engine is two or three pieces.

That accounts for over 20 pieces and so its not that scary. Significantly less pieces than the average box of plastic Napoleonics 

However we will be releasing other variations of this including a Wargames Ready version which will have a lot less parts but will of course be be less detailed.
