You got me hooked already. Very interesting subject. I especially like the design of this vehicle.

Kind regards,

Robert Jan

Interesting, the first time I have seen this! Will follow your build.

Excellent project - what's happening to your other armoured car?

Nice display! What colour should the ARW be – standard panzer grey?

Greetings! I am a lucky man. Now I have one copy of Leadwarrior's limited edition of full resin kit. This is Mannschaftstransportwagen Magirus ARW . Very rare and beautiful armored car. I will try to make some corrections with welds and extra details on a hull. I hope it will be interesting.

Hello, Artyom!

THIS is an EXCELLENT CHOICE of a not very well-known Armored Vehicle! It DOES look like a Military Version of a Sports Car!!! I will be following this build with great interest, as I did your last one not so long ago!

Artyom, I see two different types of Wheels in your photos- Which style are you going to use?

This is interesting, INTERESTING!!! Thank You for not building "another" Panther or Tiger like too many other modelers do!!!

For sure another refreshingly rare subject, designed around 1928 but the Depression prevented further development and by the time Hitler had borrowed enough money to resume in the mid 1930’s the 231 was considered cheaper & more advanced. One thing Artyom – maybe it’s just the lighting in some photos but it looks like the curved edge along the sides of the hull is much softer in real life than the kit’s? The difference is best seen between the 2nd and 3rd photos in your most recent update.

Beautiful work as usual – have you ever considered a career making jewellery, or did any of your ancestors work for Faberge? Those boxes are gems

What an interesting vehicle. This is a beautiful work of art and your craftsmanship is amazing. I can't wait to see it finished.

PS:I still build Tigers and Panthers....I love them...but I do appreciate obscure and interesting vehicles such as this.

Yes,you are right. Funny that they have tested Magirus in USSR near Kazan. And almost all photos of only one armed vehicle are from Russia. Amazing.

Hull is very difficult. I see the little difference but I have nothing to do with that.

It seems that there was two different hull types being tested.

The rounded one:


The slightly more box shaped one:


Lead Warriors kit (the boxy type).



Examples:
1. how the headlights fit into the front end
2. how the hull rounds inwards, or does not, between the wheels,
3. two different types of wheels (boxy hull has spoked wheels).

The Lead Warrior kit represents the boxy type.
