Casemate model :
This little vignette takes place in Vladivostok during the confused Events related to the Russian civil war in Siberia and the intervention of Western powers and japan alongside the White armies. This vehicle was many times photographed with japanese soldiers in poltava st, Vladivostok.
This model is produced by the great Russian company WWmodelstudio. As for their model of the Russo-balt this one is perfectly cast in resin without bubbles, the low number of pieces allows quick building (12 steps) with precise assemblies. Only rare modifications were made (handles, lights, direction bar).
about the vehicle’s paint, the sources are rather scarce and tell nothing about the colour. We can however immagine a green colour. The japanese officer was painted in the beige/mustard 1919 uniform of the time.
Turret model :
Hello everyone, following the model with the fixed casemate, here is the second model of the fiat Omsk or should rather beeing called Vladivostok armored car because it seems that it had nothing to do nor with fiat nor With Omsk. The model depicts the turreted fiat Omsk before beeing captured by the Japanese in Khabarovsk.
Concerning the model, this one also comes from the company WWmodelstudio. It is of the same excellent quality, very well engraved resin, without bubbles, fast assembly, precision of the assembly. Here is another very original model. Some modifications include modification of the front axle, addition of a crank, reinforcement of the suspension blades, modification of the headlight supports, the addition of handles, the addition of a reinforcement bar At the rear axle, the modification of the support of the machine gun, the addition of the steering rod to the front right. You will see all these changes on the photos. The wheels are of course not yet glued for the photos.
The soldier is a Kombat reference with a Zebrano head (soviet heads No. 3)
