WWI Russian Civil War Soviet Austin Putilov MkIII Armoured Car 1-100 1-72 & 1-56 scale
$7.00
As seems to be the pattern with me this model started as a request by a client for a vehicle that currently seemed not available on the web. This listing is for a Mark III Austin Putilov Armoured Car. A vehicle that has its origins in WWI but historically was only in service for the Russian Civil War and as a defender of the Soviet Motherland in the 1920’s.
The Austin Putilov Armoured Car MkIII was developed locally by the Russians as an improvement of the earlier imported marks receiving slight thicker armour, diagonally offset gun turrets to decrease the cars width and improve fields of fire. Machines were also capable of providing anti-aircraft fire. 60 Chassis where ordered from Great Britain with the provision of a rear driver post. Though these chassis began to be delivered in 1917 it was not until 1918 that some of these vehicle were completed with the final production run of 33 vehicles not being completed until summer 1919 to spring 1920.
Historical dimension: Length 4.92m Width 2.03m Height 2.84m. 5 Crew. Weight 5.2 tons. Speed under 55 km/h and a range of 200 km.
I selected Width as my guiding measurement. The final model is close to the historical dimension at scale. I suspect I have exceeded length and height a little in comparison to historical dimensions. I focused on images which left mudguards off the vehicle.
This listing is intended for resin printing though I suspect that printing in plastic will work reasonably at the 1-56 scale, though some detail on the underside might suffer from support failure.

Design of the files was done at 1/100 scale and the three test prints were done at 1/72 scale before a final test print at each size.

Gardenshedprinting is a small family concern developed out of our own interest in modelling and wargaming. The joy of being able to print so many unavailable models for ourselves soon led to the realisation that we could print and sell these models on Ebay and our own Website. Since 2019 we have seen the demand for our printed models increase and with that demand came requests for models we could not find as STLs on the many websites now offering them. Spurred on by the offers of commissions to design these models we have progressively added to our own range of very niche vehicles and at times small pieces of scenery and scenic scatter. You will find that our range of designs jumps around from once nation to another. From support vehicles to guns and a few heavier tanks. If you are seeking something different we might just be able to offer it.
