About product

The real subject

After the war the light off-road vehicle with drive to all wheels was in the British army everywhere someone or something had to be carried off the road. Vehicles of this kind were listed by the army under the numbers of the FV system, in this case FV18001 Mk. 1, and the dimension of eighty inches in the designation refers to the wheelbase. It is therefore a short, low and inconspicuous machine with an open body and a folding canvas roof.

What the kit offers

The set presents the vehicle in the early production version and with the canvas roof fitted. The 1:35 scale is rewarding for this type: the vehicle comes out small, so it fits easily into a diorama next to larger equipment or figures, and yet there is enough room on it for details of the interior.

Building and painting tips

  • Build the frame and the axles and let them dry on a flat surface, so that the vehicle stands on all its wheels.
  • Paint the interior before you seat the roof; afterward you will reach into the vehicle only with difficulty.
  • Canvas looks more credible with a matte surface and with the seams and the folds lightly brought out.
  • The green of British equipment benefits from being lightened on the horizontal surfaces and, conversely, darkened in the shadows under the fenders.
  • Dust on the fenders and the sides of the vehicle will do more for the impression than pronounced scratches and scuffs.

Who it is for

The kit will please builders of postwar British equipment and modelers who are looking for a small vehicle for a diorama with a build that takes a few evenings. The exact contents of the package and the procedure are to be found in the maker's instructions.

Terms of supply

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
