Royal Naval Air Service Lanchester Armoured Car 1914 by Haliburton - FINISHED - Copper State Models - 1/35 - PLASTIC

[Haliburton]

Continuing on with my WW1 theme, I’m starting on the Lanchester armoured car offered by Copper State Models.  The number of frets with this kit are not huge but what sets the kit apart are the quality of the detailing and a most beautifully  detailed and colourized instruction manual on thick stock paper.  Lanchesters were the second most numerous armoured car in service during WW1 and was designed by the Admiralty Air Dept for the Royal Naval Air Service to support air bases and retrieve downed pilots.  Scott

Interesting  model, it will be nice to follow.

This is coming together quickly thanks to some of the clearest instructions I’ve seen in a while. Quite a contrast to Meng. Lovely detail on these molded parts.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Father’s Day tomorrow.  Scott

I should add that my son is working on another lego build so we’re in the workshop together.  Here’s a sidebar update on his Lego Artemis.  It will have a place of honour next to his Apollo rocket.

Well some time has passed but the work has continued.  The distractions of the season  - gardening in particular _ are definitely impacting my time at the bench.

Thanks everyone for the likes!  I’ve done some additional weathering, added the unditching boards and decals and will call this done!  Scott

Thanks Mike - yes CSM is great - I have another one in the stash as well. The parts detail and fit set their stuff apart.  Scott
