Otter Recon Car (Flames of War)

Historical

28mm

I painted this as a birthday present for my father, who served in the Canadian military for over 35 years. Unit markings are as accurate as I could make them using only Internet research. I converted the original resin model, adding the open driver's visor, anti-tank rifle barrel, driving mirrors and stowage on the rear deck. The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car was designed as a Canadian replacement for the British Humber Light Reconnaissance Car Mk II. It was produced by General Motors Canada in their Oshawa plant in Ontario. 1761 Otters were manufactured in Canada from 1942... The Otter was armed with a Boys anti tank rifle and .303" Bren gun in an anti-aircraft mount although it could also be used in the ground role. - www.battlefront.co.nz

That is incredibly small. I'm adding .5 to my vote for the scale. Nice one, did your Father like it?

The scale is ~15 mm (the car is about 40 mm long). I believe the model scale is officially 1:100 according to Battlefront.

I love the subject matter. What scale is this? I think some of the highlighting too sudden, and not smooth enough, but if this is as small as I think, you've done a great job.
