Here is my third car for Mad Maximillian 1934. This time out we have a two-seat flyer with a twin-linked gun position in the rear. I know, how wonderfully barmy.
This kit was good fun to assemble. Granted, the rear gun position was a tad fiddly to align the crewman and his two Lewis guns to the gun tub, but a little pre-planning and dry fitting did the trick, with it all coming together just fine.

With the time-honoured knowledge that the best thing to accessorize a machine-gun is, well, with another machine gun, so I added a forward-firing Maxim next to the driver so she had something that could throw out a little brass and lead.
I airbrushed the body with two blue gradients and then gave it some French-themed decals as a counterpoint to my British and Italian cars.
I guess with three cars we could technically have a race, but I'd like to see if I can do up a couple more so everyone in our group can have a ride.
Thanks for dropping by for a look. Have a great weekend!

What mad fun. I guess the only way to survive all that firepower is more speed.

...and some mad luck! :)
DeleteLooks awesome! Not sure how I didn't comment on this at the time (I well remember you posting it!).
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your rear gunner is rotatable - did you magnetise the gun tub to achieve that?
Thanks Paul! These are such fun models to work on. Yeah, the gunner and his rig are currently loose in their 'tub, but a magnetized solution would be optimal. :)
