[WWI] RR Armored car from Roden

[Magnus Berggren]

For me it makes it impossible to use with a 1/32 kit, but that´s just me. 
Just knowing that its about 1.5cm to short makes it har for me to accept. I 
really wanted a 1914 pattern one to use in an airfield dio, but it seems 
that I need to wait until the 1/48 version arrives.
