Originally used in the Malayan emergency these Wickham Type 42 Armoured trains then saw service in the early stages of the Vietnam war. Many can still be seen in and around Vietnam. They also saw service in Angola in the 70's during the civil war. 

During the Vietnam war they were fitted with .30 cal Browing machine guns and we have sourced brass replica 2 part barrels for this. Be careful , these are very small and I am shipping them in a suitable seperate case so they dont get lost. 

The sub-chassis fits onto a Kato 109 motor bogie and then the body slides onto that. The turret is push fit into position and you would need to glue the gun barrel in after painting. There is already a hole in the turret to take the browning. 

We print our own models here in the UK using high detail resin. The sale is for the kit chassis, body, turret and brass machined barrel, it is unpainted and the kato chassis is shown for information only.

Finishing: All items are cleaned and cured by hand. They are unassembled and ready for you to prime and paint. We do our very best to remove support marks but some fine sanding may be required. All pieces and parts come unprimed and unpainted with all supports removed. Please do bear in mind that resin can be quite delicate so try to avoid dropping your parts! Sadly, we can't be held responsible for breakages once your item has arrived. However, if the piece is broken in the post, please provide images and we?ll see what we can do to help.
