Military Modelling Vol.40 No.3 is a 100-page AFV Special Issue (The Ninth Collectors’ Edition)
First in the Mil Mod AFV Special is a feature by Peter Heath on Roden’s Rolls Royce Armoured Car 1920 Pattern in which he tweaks some of the detail and finishes it in as a Royal Air Force car in

Steve Zaloga wasn’t too keen on the see-through capabilities of clear polystyrene on AFV Club’s 1:35 scale T-34-85 and decided to slice his model down the centre to reveal the insides.
John Prigent hasn’t been too well of late and we wish him a speedy recovery. However, he managed to finish his model of Sparta Modellbau’s 1:35 scale A7V resin kit – the first German Panzer
As a follow up to John’s model feature on the A7V his friend in Germany Rainer Strasheim came up with an accompanying history on the first A7Vs to see action in the First World War.
Cookie Sewell has converted old 1:35 scale T-72 kit chassis into the latest Russian armoured personnel and specialist vehicles – the BMO-T and BTR-T, showing that the Russians took a leaf out of the Israeli Defence Force’s book in what to do with surplus and obsolete tank chassis.
Nick Watts debuts in Military Modelling with a historical feature on the first British Infantry Tank to carry the name Matilda – the A.11. Nick delved into the archives to research the A.11 types and sorts out the not-so-obvious differences in these vehicles.
Mark Bannerman rounds off the ‘Special’ with a tidy little feature on painting Tamiya’s 1:48 scale 10hp Austin Utility in the distinctive ‘Mickey Mouse ear’ pattern camouflage … mainly with a paintbrush!
