It's been a while since I built a military model.
So, here we go. This time it is an Italian Autoprotetto S37

Start 

There's a lot of flash to the parts. This model is from a short run production, the mold was probably in service for a while when my model was cast20221104_193203.thumb.jpg.02c17cc13b20a3ec6f9c6b9e1d3207f5.jpg

 

the parts for the superstructure

For the interior, some converted russian PPSh 41 which now should look like Baretta's model 38

Finished.
Not an exotic model. But something special, and bigger than I first thought.
And probably designed by someone who had never driven an armored car. The poor driver only had a peephole on his front. What happened to his left and right he could never have seen...
