Well thats looks rather smart :)and a well written review too.
Unfortunately having the Millicast one just arrive and an RMP one on the way its a  .
Was only last week I was asking on here and searching Henks site for a Staghound. Only need the one to make some crew figures afterall. Timing, timing is everything lol

I have been tempted since I read the review on On the Way but closed hatches are a bit of ano-no |

Kungfucius,
Ah I hadnt noticed that, good point, prefer mine open as well, or at least the option.

I believe ModellTrans have a Mk I turret in resin, touted as a more correct alternative for the RPM(?) kit, and this has opening hatches. As an aside, can anyone confirm whether the drum-like long-range fuel tanks were standard in NWE, since I've also seen a stowage box fitted to the same place on the hull side. |

Leon
you know how it works
I had all those nice kits to build but they had no crews. Then I bought a few millions of hatch figures and now I need open hatches when I buy a new kit otherwise all those fine AB Figures (and Blitz, Battlefield, Milicast, CP Models, TQD, Lamercraft etc) miniatures will go wasted. BTW I am glad to learn you are progressing with your Panzer Lehr, I definitely need to add to my zillions of still unpainted Germans.

laretenue,
Oh thanks thats good to know, hopefully the RMP is ok to just fettle a little.
As for fuel tanks have seen a pic somewhere where one is 'missing' but from choice or damage no idea.
All I need to do is find my Vangaurd book…………. might answer the fuel drum question as well. Kungfucius,
Indeed timing is everything lol Like you I prefer my vehicles with crew, finishes them off properly I think. Then again I make figures so I'm likely to think that way.

I think the criticism of the kit was that the turret was misshapen, but others may be wiser than I. This arises at a coincidental moment for me, since I've been mulling the best choice fr my Armd Car SHQ veh in 1/72. Other choices I've noted are Blitzkrieg (again no open hatches and it's a Mk II – but I wondered whether that ModellTrans turret would solve both problems)and 20mm Zone. Anyone else got any more experience of these? |

laretenue,
Been away from the smaller scale vehicles for a good long while. You have hit upon an interesting point, the scarcity of a/c for Allied forces. I have had the Lucsh from ModelTrans and lovely it is so can recc the quality.
Think SHQ do one in metal, Staghound ( might be Daimler). Not sure if its 72 or 76.
20mm zone stuff looks very nice indeed. link Suprising not more a/c models out there Im a bit of an achtrad loonie………..

Just had a check around and EWM do Staghounds, AEC and Humbers
and very nice they look in the pics. I really should pay more attention……….

NeucraftModels,
Just realised how much we 'highjacked' your thread, very rude.
Sorry in anorak mode………..
