Another recent build and one of the most enjoyable kits I have done in quite a while. Fell together with no issues, so much so all the wheels touched ground without any adjustment.

My only gripe is the headlights which are butt joined to the chassis sides. Next time I will drill a hole for each of them and make a firmer join.

This Austin served in the Freikorps in Germany during 1920. I asked my modelling mates which scheme of the multiples offered in the kit they liked and everyone of them chose the skull and cross bones Freikorps scheme.

Painted with Vallejo English Uniform and weathered with my usual selection. Very little weathering was undertaken as these served in urban areas and would have not seen much cross country operational use. Road is a Noch product.

I have the Austin Mk.IV as well which is destined to be an Aussie version.

Hi Michael

Very nice model of an unusual [for me] subject - 1st time I've seen one modeled and I like it very much.

Congratulations Sir!

Regards,
Kobus
