Default Lanchester Armored Car

Fiddler's Green is preparing a new model for release.
A little different from their regular offerings, this is a WWI Lanchester Armored Car.
It builds into a nice model with lots of possibilities for modelers of varying skills. I added a couple of extras like the wood box, pail, litter.
Through the generosity of Chip and the FG team, He made a beta copy of the model available to me to build.

More photos and a build log can be found at: TinPaper Moon Tank Model

More infor on the model can be found at the Fiddler's Green Lanchester page:
Lanchester AFV British WWI ARMORED (Armoured) CAR

I had built some of their airplane models before but thought they had a cartoonish look to them. But I like the look of this Armored Car Model and may just have to buy it. Thanks for the info!

dkaniel,

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, some of their older models have a cartoonish look, but they've been steadily improving these last years.
A number of them are especially nice - Junkers JU-52, Boeing Model-299 (very unusual), Grumman Duck, Me-321 Gigant, Flettner-282, Northrop Gamma, Fokker T2- to name a handful.

One point I really like is they look good build off the sheet, but do allow modelers of any skill level to add and improve to what level they're comfortable with.
