A.E.C. Mark III. Armoured Car
| Name | A.E.C. Mark III. Armoured Car (Item No. T –7234) |
| Producer | TP Model, Czech Republic |
| Packing | Carton box with line drawing on the top |
| Type of kit | Resin kit |
| Quality | The parts are cast of resin without babbles but with more flashes and cast marks. The biggest flash in on the bulky hull front. The smaller parts are covered with the resin film. The details are rough and not noticeable enough. The some small and fine details (mirrors, antennas atc.) are not included and have to be scratchluit. |
| Instruction sheet | Three sigh drawing and two camouflage schemas + Czech/English instructions how to work with the resin kits. |
| Decals | no |
| General Impression | It will take a little more work to finish this kit to get interesting model of heavy armored car practically ”wheeled tank”. This armored car was designed to support the light reconnaissance therefore was equipped with 57 mm gun. The max. speed of this car (65 km/hr) is also imposing. |
| Note | I plan to convert this kit to early version Mk. I used in Africa because version Mk. III served in Europe only and I’m as you know keen on WWII African campaign vehicles only. I will have to replace the kit turret by the ESCI Valentine turret with 2 pdr. gun and I will also modify some details on the hull front and fenders shape. I hope I will add my model pictures in our Photogallery sometimes! J |
