Luitenant Grubers little tank is now finished. To be accurate this is the correct version of this armoured car if ‘Allo ‘ Allo’s producers had have had access to the real thing rather than mocking up one based on a Humber armoured car.

The kit is from ICM and seemed to fight me a lot. I don’t think it helped that it is so damned small and fiddly. Highlights at the end were decals that were slow to release and then brittle when released. The number plates were oversize and trimming the edge film was necessary. It tool about five attempts to get these to not break up. The crosses were out of register and replaced by Popy 1.144 decals from an aircraft kit.

The other major problem was the gun barrels which both broke but fortunately glued back on ok. I really do love metal barrels and must remember this for the next time.
