Copper State Models Romfell Panzerwagen

Never one to hang about I cracked the box on this bad boy yesterday for the WW1 group build over on Modellers' Haven Online forum. Like their previous Lanchester kit this is beautifully presented in a sturdy box with an excellent instruction booklet which includes a very good description of the vehicle as well as some useful plan drawings.

Unlike the Lanchester this comes with an engine and interior so I'm going to build it with these features visible. The molds are very well made and the parts have excellent detail. The engine is very nicely done and as it's in two parts painting should be easy. I plan on adding some spark plug leads but have no idea where they would terminate, a bit of research is needed here.

 As you can see on the chassis I've added some filler on the outer portions but this is actually not necessary because there are armoured plates that cover up these areas. I should have studied the instructions more before building! A few rivets need to be replaced on the front section which were removed during cleanup too.
