The Bedford OYD Armadillo was a Bedford OY fitted for airfield defence with Lewis guns and an ex-aircraft COW 37 mm gun.
This vehicle was used by the RAF for airfield defence and later the Home Guard.
After finding the side plates, the next stage will be a white undercoat.
As with many of my 15mm metal vehicles I don’t recall who the manufacturer was.
Having undercoated the Shermans the next stage was a green basecoat. I used a Humbrol dark green spray can for these models.
I think it is a little dark, however after giving a wash and a drybrush I think it “might” be okay.

The Tank, Cruiser, Mk III (A13) was a British cruiser tank of the Second World War. It was the first British cruiser tank to use the Christie suspension system which gave higher speeds and better cross-country performance, previous models of cruiser tanks having used triple wheeled bogie suspension. Like most British cruisers, the A 13 was fast but under-armoured and proved unreliable mechanically. Most were lost in the French campaign in 1940, but a few were used in Greece and the North African campaign in 1940-41.
I have had this tank for sometime. Don’t remember the manufacturer, though I think it may be an old SDD Miniatures model.
It’s made of metal and is quite well detailed. Hope to compare it with the Flames of War model soon.

Having given them a white undercoat I sprayed them with Humbrol Dark Brown.
Having reflected on this and feedback, I think they are too dark and I think they will need repainting.

Yes the “sneak peak” was as expected the Polish Armoured Train for Flames of War.
It comprises four parts and will be available on the 20th March.
No news on track though.
After a week we can now see the Flames of War Polish Armoured Train in all its glory.
It’s on my shopping list, is it on yours?
Noticed today that the armoured train on the front of the Flames of War website has been slowly moving down the track…
Very neat and clever, changing the picture on a daily basis to reveal more of the armoured train.
Having put the Shermans together the next stage was a white undercoat.

Pictures have emerged of the Polish Armoured Train that will be released for Flames of War.
Having seen these I am wondering about how Battlefront will do the track (if at all). Those who have looked into this will release that 15mm or 1/100th scale trains use a TT scale track which isn’t easily available (unlike OO/HO or N gauge track).
The Flames of War Barricades that were a sneak peak I mentioned back in December are to be released on the 26th February.
Really nice pieces of scenery.
Though released for the Eastern Front (Stalin’s War) I think they should work fine of the streets of most French towns. Now who does a 1/100th scale Citroen I can add to the barricade?
