Here's a few photos of the Retrokit Rolls Royce armoured car, the 1914 Europe version, just taken out of the box. Unfortunately the front wheels are missing and the rear turret is badly cast, but aside from that it looks like a very good kit. Having difficulty getting in touch with Solfig to arrange rep...
Does anyone have any information on the AC armoured car of 1915. AC is the racing car manufacturer from the UK. I notice that Second City have created a model of this vehicle and I found one photo on a Russian site but nothing more. Thanks Clive

I was wondering if anyone knew of where they were deployed, except Northern France? I've been reading about the WWI air raids on London and the rest of the UK recently, and rea...
