G'day.
These came up for sale on Aussie Modeller International. I'd never heard of the brand and the WW1 subject matter was a bit of a surprise. I grabbed them both, thinking that someone here may be interested in them for a diorama. They're about 9% smaller than they would be if they were 1/32 scale, to match the usual larger aircraft scale. But perhaps they'll still be useful. I bought them in case someone from the site wanted them, but I may keep them to have a play with.
These are obviously short-run kits. There's a lot of flash on the parts and detail is variable- strong on some pieces, soft on others. The Ford name on the radiator and frame isn't bad, for example, while the vents on the bonnet sides are depicted by heavy wedges. The Vickers that comes with the MMGS is quite poor, for example, not up to Roden or Hobbycraft standards. The cab is also fairly bare, with no instrument dials but with separate pedals. There's also a lot of ejector pin marks, though mostly they're on the inside or bottom of the pieces, where they'll be hard to see. Overall, though, I think they'd make a good basis for reasonable model.
There's two identical sprues that contain wheels and other basic vehicle pieces.
There's one sprue with the specific parts for each vehicle. This is the sprue for the ute (light truck).
The instructions are fairly rudimentary and are printed on the back of the box.
I don't know how useful these will be for a diorama, but if you've been looking for some WWI General Service vehicles, they may do the trick.
Cheers.
Dal.
