Good news for those who may have missed its release years back, as Resicast has placed this kit back in production.

Developed in 1914, the Rolls-Royce Armoured Car was a British armoured car used during the First World War. Crewed by three, it mounted a Vickers .303 machine gun and had an operating range of 240km. It was still in service by the outbreak of the Second World War, deployed in operations in the Western Desert before it was withdrawn from frontline service by 1941.

Resicast’s Armoured Car 1914 (351185) is offered as a complete resin kit in 1/35 scale. The kit now provides options for the turret – one with a steeper roof slope, thus lower sides, and another with a lesser slope, being a later version. Included as well is a jig for ease in the assembly of wheels. The kit contains over 150 parts including photo-etched details.

The spoked wheels may also be availed separately as kit 351185A. The set includes two of each: front, spare, and double rear wheels, in resin and photo-etched parts.
