Nice looking model.

I have your E-V/4 "Ehrhardt" Armored Car. It too is a nice model. Does the Putilov have instructions. I am buying no more vehicles unless they have instructions, and are made to be put together, with tabs and links in the pieces, not just smooth surfaces that cannot be glued without much effort, such as gun port doors.

Can you post a picture of the all the Putilov parts, and the instructions, please. Do you sell completed models?

Here is a picture of my Ehrhardt in a Very British Civil War, 1938 game at Historicon, part of the Royalist Road Patrol.

Hi, everyone!

Very happy to tell you that our long delayed Garford-Putilov (announced early this year, but delayed due to a number of adventures with the U.S. Post Office) is now finally available for sale.

Developed right before WWI by Putilov, using the chassis of the reliable and widely exported American "Garford" truck, the Garford was one of the most widely used armored vehicles of the WWI era, and saw an amazing service record: WWI, The Russian Civil War, The Russo-Polish War, the Freikorps, the Chinese Civil War, and WWII (when the last surviving example was destroyed in combat against the Germans in late 1941).

Armed with machineguns and a turreted 57mm or 76.2mm gun, the Garford was a truly monstrous beast, and one of the few armored cars of the era actually able to take on a tank and win.

Our model is 1:56 scale, and works quite well with 28-32mm miniatures. Consists of a resin hull, turret, and gun, with metal machinegun barrels and wheels.

Priced at $30 USD. As an added bonus, all shipping costs in the month of July are free, international or domestic.
