It's my first model in years (I'm rather wargamer, so I've made lots of Shermans, Panzers, etc, but in 1/100 scale), and before I've only made some 1/48 aircrafts and painted them with Humbrol paints without any effects and weathering so I could't resist and glue the model together. I know, it's not the best way, but who cares .
It's first Polish Armored Car, made in 1920 from Ford Model T chasis and armored with lots of German trench shields (all 17 vehicles was used during Polish-Soviet war with some succeses, the car was small and light and very mobile, very suitable in recce misions). The model itself isn't the best one. Some historical incorrectness and some parts don't fit well. Since it's my first real model, I'm not going to correct this faults. I'm going to put the model together, fill all the gaps and focus on painting and weathering.
Model after unboxing:
And after assembling:
Now I have to fill all the gaps.
Here's link to wikipedia if would like to know more about this rather unussual vehicle :
