Had this on the go for a while now. A nice little resin model from Frontline; all of x3 parts
Made crew from donor figures, the Bren gun is from the Imex Korean War set
Added ammo pouches to the crew, not that you really see them
Was looking at doing some more early war stuff in the future and have been doing a lot of research around Operation Sealion, as this will provide a number of interesting 'what if?' scenarios using all my favourite kit
Added a rolled tarp, Jerry-cans and a spade from the bits box, decals from S-Models, Cruiser kit
These were mostly used by Home Guard and RAF units during the early war years. Eventually nearly 3000 were produced and included a number of Mks with different combinations of kit and armaments, including radio sets, Boys anti tank rifles and Vickers medium machineguns.
That looks excellent Al, nice conversion with the crew too.
ReplyDelete:) Downright cute car, feel good when see this...
ReplyDeleteYour Home Guard are lucky to be supported by such a splendid kit.

ReplyDeletea micro-masterpiece!

ReplyDeleteWell done
Impressed with the Front Line model and your skill!
You have made me envious enough to want one
Well done
Brilliant. You wonder what the MOD was up to with its designs when the Germans were designing classics that lasted the war! I think the first time I heard of the beaverette was in the Airfix Guide to Armoured Cars. I still have it...
ReplyDeleteThat's great. You don't see many of these things on the gaming table.
ReplyDeleteSome great comments gang. I'm actually considering having a crack a scratch building a MkIII Beaverette, Col gave me the plans.... from the Airfix Guide :)
ReplyDeleteMaximex is right...'cute', neat little model...if you do Sea Lion; you get to scratch-build all those mad concrete blockhouse AFV's using Matador and Monty's Caravan chassis!...Bargain!
