[35155] 1/35 AEC Mk 2 Armoured Car

Command the European battlefields with the MiniArt 1/35 AEC Mk.II Armoured Car, a meticulously detailed model kit that brings this iconic British heavy armoured car to life. Developed by the Associated Equipment Company (AEC) during World War II, the Mk.II variant featured a heavier turret housing a potent 6-pounder gun, a redesigned front hull, and a powerful 158 hp diesel engine, making it a formidable reconnaissance and combat vehicle. These robust armoured cars saw extensive service with British and British Indian Army units across continental Europe, often operating alongside American-supplied Staghound armoured cars. Some even continued service with various nations into the 1970s.
