The Austin armoured car 3rd series was the result of the experience gained from the previous models in the battlefields of Europe during World War 1. The 3rd series of vehicles used a 1.5 ton chassis as opposed to the previous chassis used on the 1st series of vehicles. The armour was thicker and better suited to protecting its occupants. The improvements here that specifically identify this offering as a series 3vehicle is that armoured plates replaced the side windows and a second driving point was added at the rear of the vehicle; something the Germans used in a number of their vehicles during World War 2. The vehicles in this release would seem to replicate vehicles either captured from the Russian forces or their allies who were given them. This line of models from MiniArt all seem to have fairly complete interiors and so let’s take a closer look.
