I wasn't sure where this went so I put it here since it is a WWI-era car. That is about as classic as you can get. Along with the other models I finished, I have this one. It was a military designated vehicle, but since it is not camouflaged or anything and was used by a civilian, I'm showcasing this car here. This is the Roden 1/72 scale Vauxhall D staff car. I built this as the mount used by King George to tour the front during WWI: This was a tough little kit to build; the parts are molded so thin that they broke easily if handled wrong. It had a devil of a time getting this to sit straight and/or line up. The front wheels are super sensitive, you look at them wrong and they fall off! That's how delicate the axles are molded. This does build into a fantastic looking little model though, I'm thrilled to have this in my collection. I did add a bit of road dust to this but for the most part, I kept it as clean as possible. I'm happy with this one. Now to get the Vauxhall ambulance! That's all for this one, feel free to check out my latest aircraft and armor as well. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Nice work on this little classic! After 6 years, I think this is the first Vauxhall to grace the pages of OSM. Thanks for showing it, Mark!
