Ron Goins shows his M20 Armoured Utility Car close-up. This was one of Ron''s entries for the July Dragon AMOM, and was placed third. Thanks Ron!

Couldn't agree more... Is it the Tamiya or Italeri? I know you can model at least one of the same vehicle from each manufacturer...
Oh, and remind me not to stand behind the M20 when the driver floors it... That axe could lodge somewhere that's difficult to remove...

Excellent Ron. I love the subtle but very effective weathering. The stowage is top notch as well. Both of these make a nice kit, unique and very realistic.

thank you very much guys for the great comments and thanks to you vinnie for posting it as a model on display its very gratifying to see ones work up there for so many people to see. this one i was particulary happy with because i honestly didnt not rate my chances againt the other models at all that month but to take second spot i was delighted and a model on display as well is the icing on the cake, thanks all again.
*edit* jeff, that is supposed to look like coal, dont ask why i just thought it was more interesting than an empty bucket heh.
