Carrying on with the next Armoured car in the set.
:surprised::flushed::smiling3:
Sprues .
Someone I know will like this painting suggestion !!!!
Like the Lidl advert I prefer the.
The BA-20 armored car was developed in 1934 for use by HQ staffs, reconnaissance and communications units. In common with most armored cars derived from cars, the BA-20 was largely roadbound.
The tires were designed to be resistant to bullets by filling them with spongy rubber. A variant, the BA-20 ZhD, could travel on railway lines by replacing the normal wheels with flanged metal rail-type wheels, another interesting one to build !
The lack of all-wheel drive, high ground pressure and low power prevented it from moving cross-country except on very firm ground. The protection was too thin to stop anything other than fragments or small-arms fire, and the 7.62 mm machine gun was not adequate to penetrate other scout vehicles.
Based on the GAZ-M1 car for the chassis, in turn a modified Ford design.
With a top speed of 56 km/h from its Gaz M1 50 hp and weighing in at 2.27 tonnes
The armour was pitifully thin at between 6 and 9 mm , so useless against any heaver rounds
The BA-20 was used in the invasion of Poland 1939 and the Winter against Finland between 1939-40] as well as the early stages of Barbarossa in 1941. A total No of 4,800 BA-20s were constructed.
Decide to use Hobby Boss range as recommended by Dave Ward :thumb2: for this group of models, and what a change from the PARC, parts that actually fit the location holes , most with our redrilling. :flushed: :surprised:---:smiling3:
Took some time looking at the first section of the engine, and built it up in short sessions allowing the glue to dry before carrying on, this time the fan belt went on with out snapping as has happened before.
This was the stage around 1600. today.
Hope you will join and follow along, no doubt there will be much merriment and the normal abuse and banter ! One of life's free things.
