Packing carton box with the picture on the top
Type of kit Resin casts + photo-etched parts
Quality

The resin parts are fine cast without bubbles but with more flash necessary to remove. The mentioned parts looks little rough on the first look but if you check it in details you will find out that it’s not so bad that all of them are useful. Some bigger parts /radiator grill and its cover/and all details are realized as very nice photo-etched parts. The main difference between versions Mk.I and Mk.II is the turret. The Mk.II is also equipped with anti-sand mats, cases, cans atc.

General Impression I think you can relatively simply build models of very interesting well known WW2 armored cars out of these kits.
Note

The armored cars based on R.R Silver Ghost served in WW1 already.

Then they were modernized and were used also in the early WW2 in North Africa. The models on box photos represent vehicles in typical desert camouflage but I know some WW2 reference photos of version Mk.II only. I have never seen any Mk.I from North Africa. In case you can help me to find such references they are of course welcome. Thanks in advance.

These kits are another results of my kit swap with my Italian friend Lorenzo Tonioli.
