    RPM 1:35 Ford Tfc Armoured Car

    Picked this up at the recent Boscombe Down Model Show - a diminutive armoured car based on the Ford Model T.

      That's a cracking little build of an unusual vehicle.

        Thanks Guys,

        not overjoyed with the paint job and the photos show up the issues - I used siliputty as a mask which has worked really well previously but I think its left behind some oily residue as some of the paint has "split" so I should probably ditch the putty and get a fresh batch.

        The kit was only £7 and was a spur of the moment buy as I just liked the look

            That looks great, and definitely different.
