Details
Following
Belgian success with raids on the German lines in 1914
using light cars, the British Admiralty decided to convert
some Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts for similar use and so
created the RR Model 1914 Armoured Car.
Further modified
in 1920, it was this vehicle that remained in service
and saw service Ireland, Iraq, India, Palestine, etc.,
throughout the twenties and thirties.
The armoured
bodies of these vehicles would later be used to produce
the Fordston Armour Car (see UK36)
which took part in the final surrender of the Axis in
North Africa in 1943.
In
late 2005 we simplified the construction of this kit
by reducing the number of parts by moulding them in
situ (See photograph). The result is a more easily constructed
model but still retaining all the detail you would expect
from a Milicast Premier kit.
