Morris Light Recce Mk-1

I know, I keep going on about being on an Italian fling, but giving those figures a rest over the holidays.

Here is the photo record of another resin kit build in 2019, this time from Accurate Armour.



Though simple, (the body was in one nicely sculpted piece of resin), I had fun building it and learning some new skills.

The side hatches were both rendered in the closed position, though the top hatch was 'dug out' a bit... time for the Dremel, pin vice and some serious excavation!

After some research on the internets, I learned that there was a shelf in there for a radio set, so that became the plan.



You can see the scratch built door lying on Mr. Plywood.

I opted for the ever-endearing Mickey Mouse Camo, and accessorized away!

On to more gear, armament and figures:



That pea shooter of a BOYS AT rifle was sadly lacking, but maybe better than nothing

Now that I've learned about matte varnish, tempted to touch up a bit after a good dusting!

Cheers!

Is it me? Or are those two guys going to have a hard time fitting into that thing?

Ha, at 1:35 I often find big discrepancies in figure scales. Let's just pretend these big lads can do it!
