Oh no he's back again already I hear you cry. This time I have the Bronco, Humber Armoured Car Mk lll. I was going to do this for the D Day build but it appears it wasn't used the MklV was however. For a smallish model just over 13cm the large box is packed with plastic. The kit contains no fewer than 15 tan coloured sprues, 1 sprue moulded in green of personal equipment, 2 etch frets, 1 clear and a small decal sheet giving 3 options for Europe, Italy and Tripoli.
The Humber Armoured car was produced up until the end of the war but was still in use with many countries until the 60's. All Humber cars were 4x4 but could be switched to 2 wheel drive which was the norm. It was powered by a 90HP 6 cylinder petrol engine. It's primary role was reconnaissance in all theatres other than the eastern front. It was fitted with a larger turret to accommodate a 3rd crewman to operate the radios. It was armed with a 15mm BESA Cannon and a 7.92 BESA machine gun. These were sometimes removed and fitted with dummy guns to accommodate another radio.
Hope you can join me along the way.
