Rick Hoskinson reworked an obsolete Roco 234/1 armored car into this detailed model. Rick cut out the upper compartment, added an interior, and a Preiser Pak 40 anti-tank gun less undercarriage on a scratchbuilt mount. He removed the rear engine deck details and scratchbuilt new intake louvers and access hatches. Rick also scratchbuilt the antenna mount and armored skirting around the gun mount as well as the ammo box on top of right fender. The model features a scratchbuilt front bumper and mounts along with a rear radiator grille, exhaust pipes and mufflers, spare tire mount, and spare tire from the spares box. Rick painted his model with Model Masters paint and weathered it with pastel chalks, dry pigments, and art pencils and finished it with TL decals. The figure is from Preiser. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 498.
