Armored car Marmon Herrington Mk.III &
MK.IIIA
in 1/76 scale
| Name | Marmon-Herrington Armoured Car Mk.III (Kit No. 001) & MK.IIIA (Kit no. 002) & MK.III with 25 mm ATG (Kat.è.014) & MK.III Late (Kat.è.015) |
| Producer | Giesbers Models, Holland |
| Packing | Carton box with picture of completed kit on the top |
| Type of kit | Resin kit + white metal AT rifle |
| Quality | All resin parts of these kits are very well cast without any bubbles and problematic flash. You have to remove only casting sprues. Surface of all parts is very fine. Fine details (antennae, tools atc.) have to be scratchbuild or added from you spare parts box. The Hotchkiss25mm AT gun is also well cast and detailed . AT rifle cast of white metal is not so nice but also usable. It needs little grinding to get in order. |
| Instruction sheet | simple graphical assembly instruction sheet |
| Decals | no |
| General Impression | I think you can simply build very nice models of tow versions of known WW2 vehicle. |
| Note |
These armored cars in few various version were designed and produced in South Africa. Most of MH IIIs I have ever seen on reference photos were captured vehicles serving in DAK. I have seen couple of reference photos of MH IIIAs serving in British 7th Armored Div. Very good reference photos of Free French MHIIIAs are published at http://www.info-micro.com/engins/archives/marmon-herrington.htm . New member of Marmon-Herrington Mk. III family is vehicle armed with French 25mm AT gun. The AT vehicle was probably born as field modification done in one or few pieces only not as a standard. Frankly said I have never seen any reference photo of this vehicle. I know photos of Mk.II version with Hotchikiss gun only. The second new member of the family is MH Mk.III Late version. Only differences from older kits are few external details. I would welcome any help with references, cammo schemas etc. for these very interesting vehicles. Thanks in advance. :-) |
