Master Box Austin Mk.III Armoured Car [1:72]

It's an old timey armoured car!
A fun build that I think has turned out pretty good... Just don't crush the turrets and you'll be fine.

That looks Wheely cool

[@SteveJonesScaleModellingSite]

Luv armoured cars. Could be one to add to the stash

[@Grungydan]

Neat vehicle for sure. I for one would like to see this one painted up!

[@EMTBAFV]

I'm building the new miniart British Austin mk5 full interior! Stunning kit!

[@TheGreatHornedOwl]

Loved building mine. Put some 1/72 rubbery figures with it.

[@trekanbelluvitsh]

Wheely good. Some kind of a WW1 Gamma Goat. 😄

Thank you so much for the video! Without it, my model would have turned out a bit weird looking. Already the first steps of the included manual made me nervous. I don't understand why the first steps are necessary and these parts are not already integrated. The manual doesn't really help beginners like me.

[@HerbertErpaderp]

I'm glad it was helpful. Often when things like that aren't integrated it's so more detail can be moulded into the parts easier... Though sometimes it just seems like they do it for the sake of it.

I love the look of that vintage of armored car be they British, French or whatever. Wikipedia says that particular one was based on a passenger car chassis, I'm guessing the 1913 Austin. I'd love to see the civilian version sitting next to the military version, but where to get a kit of the civilian car?

[@idahojmb]

Based on the PEERLESS truck chassis...with an Austin armored body. The tipoff is the radiator. Classic Peerless design. In the instructional film it is installed upside-down. Peerless sold about 12,000 truck chassis' to the British and French military + some to the American military. Most were 3 & 4 ton flatbed lorries, but some mounted 13-pdr. antiaircraft artillery or had armor and machine guns. About 60 were made w/ the twin-turret design and were used in Ireland, England, Poland, Estonia, Russia and Greece, more in the 1919-1939 period. The Irish have restored one at Curragh and the British have a fine one in the Bovington Tank Museum.

@@idahojmb Okay, cool, so where to get kits of (probably several models of body/bed combo) *civilian* Peerless trucks?

[@idahojmb]

@@markfergerson2145 There aren't any that I know of. The rad shell design mirrors the 1906-1921 Peerless automobile design somewhat: flat on top/2 sloping angles/2 vertical sides/with a filler neck on top, center. Just watched a "Tank Talk" on youtube explaining the basics of the one at the Bovington Tank Museum.

[@markfergerson2145]

@@idahojmb I guess it's down to lots of research and 3D printing then. Oh well, at least nowadays that's possible.

Throw a Garford Putilov next to it, and you've got the majority of Russian armor in ww1
