1:72 Humber Armoured Car Mk.IV - Czechoslovak and Polish Units

Humber Armoured Car Mk.IV 1:72 - Attack Hobby Kits

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Humber Mk.IV armored car in 1:72 scale from the Czech manufacturer Attack Hobby Kits. Besides the plastic parts, the Profi Line trim contains photo-etched parts, resin accessories including the wheels and 3D-printed gun barrels, so that the finished model gains fine detail beyond that of an ordinary kit. The decals cover vehicles in the service of foreign users.

The real subject

The Humber Armoured Car was among the most widespread British armored cars of the Second World War and served for reconnaissance and escort work. The Mk.IV version carried heavier armament in its turret. Allied units used the vehicles as well, among them Czechoslovak and Polish formations on the Western Front, which makes this boxing an interesting subject for collectors of the Allied units in exile.

Building and painting tips

First finish the chassis and suspension and the interior of the turret, before you close the hull up. Bend the photo-etched parts on a mat, wash the resin before gluing and glue with cyanoacrylate. Rely on washes and pigments for the final weathering: mud and dust effects will emphasize the broken surface of an armored vehicle.

Who the model is for

• Collectors of military vehicles in 1:72 scale
• Anyone interested in Czechoslovak and Polish units on the Western Front
• Modelers who will appreciate photo-etch, resin and 3D-printed parts in the package

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories beyond those in the package are not included, unless stated otherwise.
