Russian Civil War Equipment Series (1) - Rolls Royce Armored Car
This is a new series on the equipment of the Russian Civil War that is part of my 15mm modeling project for that conflict. The first piece to be covered is the Rolls Royce Armored Car.
This A/C was not used extensively in the Russian Civil War, but there are some photos, so they were present at some level. The vehicle is almost iconic as a WWI era Armored car and was used in many other conflicts (Ireland, 1920s, Gobi Desert, WWI, and even WWII). There is a photo in the excellent "Armored Units of the Russian Civil War: Reds" Osprey book.
I am using the QRF model, of which I have two, and they will be painted generic enough to be serviceable for both sides (Red and White).

I lust for this. But only in 20mm.
