Humber Light Reconnaissance Car

Another recently completed model is this Humber LRC MkIII.  Not that there was much modelling involved, as this is from the Raventhorpe 'Ready to Roll' range and consisted of only two parts!  These were the car itself (resin), and the barrel of the Bren gun (metal).  I understand that many of these were used by the RAF Regiment in Italy and NW Europe, and so I decided that mine would serve as a Forward Air Controller - hence the blue beret poking out from the turret and oversized roundel.

    Thanks guys - I can't claim to have put much work in to it! The RAF roundel was irresistible.
