THE ROLLS-ROYCE ARMOURED CAR
By Marc Flake
After watching "Lawrence of Arabia" for the first time, I knew I would have to ultimately build that neat Rolls Royce armored car featured in a couple of scenes in the movie. It wasn't until I found the Reviresco site on the Web that I was able to
fulfill this dream. The kit comes with about 25 white metal parts. Some clean-up
is necessary for flash and such. Everything fit incredibly well, except the
turret. I had to grind away at the turret ring as well as the inside of the
turret. I even had to lightly tap the top of the turret (protected with folded
rag) with a small hammer to get it to sit right. A little putty here and there filled the gaps -- mostly where the bonnet
meats the body. And sanding didn't even affect the white metal details! The instructions call for an overall medium gray scheme. I chose neutral
gray. Decals are from a set of railroad letters by Superscale. /Marc F.
