It's a Rolls-Royce armoured car, in the slightly updated Second World War version
SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?
- Thread starter Elm City Hobbies
- Start date
A variant of this one?
Apparently upgraded and served in Africa and the far East well into WWII.
Nice! I'm using a Gardell as well, and been pretty happy with it. It seems to hold a charge pretty long.
I see yours came with alternative collars and accessories... I ended up ordering those separately.

That's the one, yep. I had two copies of the 1:72 scale version of that kit until two weeks ago
(Ten, fifteen years ago I had bought quite a bunch of 1:72 scale kits for wargaming, but as I haven't done that in about ten years, I decided to sell them last year. Two weeks ago there was the annual village-wide yard sale, so I put up most of those kits for sale. The first guy who showed any interest in them, bought the whole lot after a little bit of haggling.)Oooh. I'm adding this to my wish list!
Believe it or not, when I got back into the hobby, I was certain that I would limit my vehicles to soft skin trucks and cars in North Africa...
Then it expanded to armoured cars, then full on armour. Now planes.
Armoured cars make very interesting builds. Check out this one from a while back.

Today's arrival.
Ooooh! Twice the tracks!
Double the fun!!Ooooh! Twice the tracks!
Wow are those double tracks?? I didn't know such a thing existed.
The T28 Super Heavy Tank was a massive, turretless 95-ton prototype built by the U.S. Army at the end of WWII. Designed to breach heavy fortifications like the Siegfried Line, it featured 12 inches of frontal armor and a 105 mm gun. Only two prototypes were built; today, the last surviving unit is located at the National Armor and Cavalry Collection in Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia.

The outer ones were detachable, and could then be linked together side-by-side and towed as a trailer.
I saw this tank at Fort Benning when I was posted there. It's on display at the Army Armor and Cavalry Museum. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_Armor_and_Cavalry_Collection). It is a rather large tank. I wonder if they could take photos of it for you?
I'm going to need a bigger harbour soon. Pantherman

Got these two guys the plane for my birthday and the boat on sale from an Amazon return/overstock website for 40.00 bucks. Doesn't even appear to be opened.
That's pretty big

May have been a COSTCO day, but with my LHS just two blocks away, I can escape the madness...
"...text me when you're done!"
"...text me when you're done!"
Chrysler LHS?
Local Hobby Shop.
(Just in case you ain't joshing me)
Lmbo. No i wasn't. I was trying to figure out why you would park two blocks away from Costco, and I thought "Maybe parking is difficult in Canada". Haha.
Today's arrival.
