The Boys Rifle Mk1 barrel from Magic Models. For me it was a must. The outside diameter from the Meng kit is much to small. In fact on the thinnest part it's the calibre of the rifle ?
The Warslug kit. Irish war Belfast 1932. Thirteen Rolls Royce where handed over to the Irish National Army by the British. A Catholic woman passes with clear disgust for those Protestants. The dog has no preference 😉
Quite enamored with the look of the Rolls Royce Armored Car decided to build one.
Question was which one, Meng, Roden or the Warslug?
And why not all three? I was able to compare the kits on the fly.
It turned out to be three very different kits. Each with their own pluses and minuses.
Final conclusion; the Warslug kit is the best kit, but with the disadvantage that only one version can be built (interbellum).
The meng kit is good and a nice build. The spoked wheels are much too coarse compared to Roden. So this became the desert version.
The Roden kit requires a little more effort but eventually builds into a nice model. And the wire wheels are very nice and finely executed. Wondering about the strange surface texture?
Here and there I did some mix and match, easily through three of the same subjects.
Here are the results
1st diorama is the Roden kit: North-West France 1914
2nd diorama is the Warslug kit: Belfast Irish Civil War 1932
3rd diorama is the Meng kit: North Africa Libya 1940
