Armoured Car Ford FT-B, Poland mid 1920`s (1/72)

The Ford FT-B was the first armored car produced by Poland.
Designed by Tadeusz Tański and put into service in 1920.

The vehicle was based on the famous Ford Model-T chassis, which was equipped with a armoured hull and a rotatable turret armed with a 7.92 mm Maxim 08/15 machine gun and hand grenades for two crew members.
16-17 examples were built.

At that time, Poland was at war with Soviet Russia (1918-1921), which meant that the armored car was immediately put into service.
In the end, 12 vehicles survived the war and were used in various roles.
The last vehicle was decommissioned in 1931.

And at this point (in the time after the conflict) I will place my project.
All references I found pointed to vehicles up to 1921 and all were painted with the typical three or four color camouflage with black dividing lines.
Since I was afraid that this scheme could lead to visual chaos on the very small vehicle, I decided on a uniform olive green paintjob.
Green was also a common service color at that time, which could make a later repainting plausible (assumption on my part).
The national insignias are also likely introduced a little later (mid 1920´s).

In fact, what I am presenting here is a generic situation.

RPM kit (72100) and a PE detail fret from Part (P72-113) were used.
The kit itself is a bit rudimentary, which makes the PE parts a wonderful addition.
There are no rivets shown, which prompted me to add some myself.
I didn´t follow an exact rivet plan, only loosely oriented to reference pics, to get the impression of the riveted construction- so please forgive me;)

The two standing figures are from White Stork Miniatures (F72016) and the AC crew figure is a kitbash made from the upper body of an IJA tanker by IBG Models and a resin head by Modell Trans.

The scenery was built from scratch and is mainly made of plastic material and a few PE parts.
