1:72 Marmon-Herrington Mk.II ??

The real subject

The Marmon-Herrington was an armored car built during the Second World War in the Union of South Africa on a truck chassis with all-wheel drive. British and Allied units used it mainly in North Africa and the Middle East, where its endurance off road and easy maintenance were valued. The Mk.II was the most numerous version; the armament differed from vehicle to vehicle according to the unit and to what was at hand, so examples with an anti-tank rifle, with machine guns and with captured weapons were all met in the field.

About the item

This is a model of that vehicle in 1:72 scale. The supplier's name, however, ends in two question marks after the Mk.II designation, in the place where the closer determination of the variant should stand, so the exact variant is not stated here. If you are building a particular vehicle, the variant is given on the box and in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

• 1:72 scale, a vehicle five meters long comes out at seven centimeters
• cut the surplus material a little away from the part and sand the mark down gently
• wash and degrease the parts before painting
• apply the paint in thin coats, as a heavy coat in this scale floods both the rivets and the grilles
• the assembly sequence and the contents of the package are given in the instructions supplied

Who it is for

For builders of vehicles in a small scale and for dioramas of the fighting in North Africa, where more vehicles fit into a small area than in large scales. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
