Title: IBG Models
Post by: Weaver on September 20, 2013, 08:56:48 AM: These may be of interest to 1/35th armour modellers and possibly for steampunk/dieselpunk projects too: Marmon Herrington armoured cars. They havn'y got prices for all of them yet, but they look to be about £30:

Mk.I : http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/IBG35021 (http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/IBG35021)

£30? That’s, what, about AU$50? A tad expensive, me thinks, but do-able.

A sentiment I share, but the other way around..... ;)

Post by: GTX_Admin on September 21, 2013, 05:16:39 AM: The Mk1 is very tempting.
Title: Re: IBG Models
Post by: Weaver on September 21, 2013, 08:45:36 AM: British forces in North Africa got very creative when up-gunning the Mk.IIs, leading to all sorts of credible whiff possibilities:

Quote
As a large amount of weaponry was captured during the Desert campaign, units were able to modify their vehicles to reuse these.[4] Weapons fitted included the Italian 20 mm Breda and 47 mm Breda, the German 3.7 cm Pak 36 and the 2.8 cm sPzB 41 taper bore gun, the French 25 mm gun, the 20 mm Oerlikon cannon and the British QF 2 pounder anti-tank gun.

From here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmon-Herrington_Armoured_Car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmon-Herrington_Armoured_Car)

I wonder if they're going to do a Mk.IV (which was a very different vehicle)? One thing I didn't know (from the Wiki page) was that Mk.IVs last saw combat during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, and that greek forces continued to use them until the 1990s....

Post by: Rickshaw on September 21, 2013, 09:01:20 PM: They were used in South Africa well into the 1970s. If you've ever seen "The Gods Must be Crazy", you'll notice them there.

I kinda like the Skoda guns, too, but that's because I have a soft spot for Czech armour & guns. ;)
Title: Re: IBG Models
Post by: Weaver on July 24, 2014, 05:52:15 AM: I like the Otter: always thought that was a good-looking vehicle.

Purely because it's in the same old AFV Profiles book, I got it thinking wouldn't it be fun if someone made an injection kit of the Beaverette "armoured car" together with some British Home Guard figures to go with it... (there are resin 1/35th and metal 1/76th models of it)

(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/GTwiner/imagejpg2_zpsfbef7799.jpg)

For those curious, it is a licensed variant of Patria's Armored Modular Vehicle and thus may offer some more whiff potential. For instance, a version of this is being jointly offered by BAE Systems and Patria for Australia's Land 400 competition at present.

Title: Re: IBG Models
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on November 02, 2024, 04:48:31 AM: What purpose do the four holes in the wing leading edge serve. Two on the right wing and two on the left wing. I was thinking at first these might be for landing lights as a first good guess but more thought on the purpose has me guessing that it might be ram-air intakes for the crop dusting equipment.

Anyone else have an explanation?

First guess was right Jeff ... landing lights. IIRC, during spray runs, those lights can be made to strobe to increase visibility.

Thanks for the confirmation! The duplication on both wings was the confusing factor but it makes sense for the low-level work that aircraft is designed for. Surprised there are no other bells and whistles beyond the strobe lights.

Post by: GTX_Admin on November 03, 2024, 02:11:08 AM: Yeah, as much as I would like to joke that they are gun ports for big bugs, they are lights. You can see them in this turboprop variant:
