After seeing Romans nice design I suggested a recolour of the Slievenamon, some of the history buffs among us will love reading the full details of this Rolls Royce Armoured car. It was one of the four vehicles that made up the convoy to Cork by Michael Collins in August 1922 when it was ambushed the vickers gun jammed during the engagment. I hope to have it finished in a few days got a lot of details such as photos of the type of lettering the number that was painted on the hood of the turret If anyohe is interested in doing a diorma of the ambush I have a map and the types vehicles they been a Crossley tender a 1921 douglas 2 3/4 hp and a Leyland Eight yellow and the Rolls Royce pattern 1920

I look forward to seeing this collaboration progress. I would like to build all those vehicles, which would seem to have a lot of recolor possibilities for interwar-era military forces.

Thanks don, I am getting the loan of a camera later on I have not done any touch ups on the model. Can say that the name looks small kind of lost in the colour really the A.R.R-2 part looks clear must be the celtic font on the Sliabh na mBan

while building I noticed the wheels look odd the tyres seem to have turned to blue so may have to do a bit of work on that part. must say its a great looking kit by Roman says the man that forgot to cut out some parts to be able to have the turret turning.

my brother in law forgot the camera again, my word he says phone to remind him. but this kit goes together nicely and it looks good. must say but only have to trust me on that till Mr Forgetful remembers I want his camera to take photos
