[WWI] RR Armored car from Roden

[Magnus Berggren]

I havn´t said otherwise. But I´m not sure it´s a certain fact. First, the WWI 1/35 fans are probably even a smaller crowd than the WWI 1/32 aircraft builders, especially now when Roden has released a bunch of nice 1/32 kits, and has even more comming. In my opinion the RR would complement the 1/32 kits nicely. And when it comes to figures, I´m not sure that there are more 1/35 WWI figures out there, than there are 54mm ones.

  They did it in 1/35 scale because the armor modelling community is far bigger and much more fanatical than our community.  They simply couldn't afford to lose that many sales over it's compatibility with aircraft kits. Plus there are many available 1/35 scale figures.

    I think that among other things, the 1914 pattern need wire wheels, something that Roden didn´t felt up to. But from what I´ve heard, it shouldn´t be that hard conversion. If my source is correct, we will see a 1/48 version in the future too. We had a long argument about why they did a 1/35 instead of a 1/32, but at least we might convert it into something on topic....

      One of Roden's future releases (March '09) is supposed to be the Rolls armored car, 1920 version. I hope they will do the 1914 pattern, but would it be that hard to convert? Does anyone know the differences, and are there references available?
