Trasporto Truppe Corazzato F.V. 603 Saracen Mk.I Britannico
Recensione del Modello JB Models in Scala 1:76
The model shown here is a Saracen Mk.1 con the early torretta mitragliatrice, e mitragliatrice contraerei Bren. Later versions received the slightly larger torretta of the autoblindo Ferret. The kit includes optional parts to build the Saracen Mk.2 o Mk.3 instead. The Mk.3 was designed for use in the Middle East, ed it saw action during the Gulf War. Desert Storm markings will have to be painted on by hand, they are not included in the kit. Later versions of the Saracen should be equipped con a GPMG instead of the Bren gun. The model was sprayed in verde oliva della NATO, mixed con 30% white to take the scale effect into account. Raised detail was then shaded e drybrushed using Jim Gordon’s invecchiamento dei veicoli.

- The sliding cover of the roof hatch is modelled in the open position, but the hatch itself is closed. The instructions do not indicate it clearly, but the hatch needs to be cut open in section 3 of the construction process.
- La mitragliatrice leggera Bren is not detailed at all, it might be replaced by a more accurate weapon taken from a Matchbox kit. A GPMG would be an appropriate replacement for the Bren.
- The painting instructions on the back of the box show a Saracen con much thinner antennas than are included in the kit. The plastic antennas may be cut off e replaced con more realistic oggetti taken from a large paint brush.
