History

The Garford-Putilov armoured car, deployed extensively by the Imperial Russian Army during World War I, often operated in harsh conditions that took a toll on its armour plating. Battle damage, wear, and corrosion meant that armour panels sometimes required replacement, either in frontline workshops or at rear-area facilities. Replacement panels were often distinguishable by slight variations in finish, rivet alignment, or armour thickness, reflecting the practical realities of wartime production and repair. Modelling these details offers an opportunity to portray a vehicle with a service history, adding depth and narrative to the build.
