20mm British AEC Mk.3 Armoured Car

Couldn't find a decent 20mm AEC armoured car kit (not paying Zebrano prices) so decided to push the boat out a bit and buy the Milicast solid resin version.

For the money charged, I think the casting quality is pretty rough. Had to spend over an hour cleaning up the casting and I don't think it's that high-quality to start with. Also bought the brass barrel as I read somewhere that thin resin can be a bit fragile, and I've got clumsy sausage fingers to start with.

    Hi Guy, is this a 2lb or 75mm gun? I can't remember, is the turret an old tank turret utilized from an obsolete vehicle? Anyway nicely done!

    Hi Steve, this is the mk.3 version so it's a 75mm gun, like the Staghound mk.3.
