Model T 1917 LCP, WWI Australian Army Car, 1/35 - ICM 35663

The ICM model kit 35663 reproduces a Model T 1917 LCP used by the Australian Army during the First World War. Built to scale 1/35, this snap-together kit depicts a light patrol vehicle designated LCP for Light Car Patrol.

The Ford Model T was widely used across the different fronts of the conflict. Examples from British production were employed by the Australian Mounted Division and equipped with Lewis machine guns. These light patrol vehicles were deployed in Egypt and Palestine between 1917 and 1918.

This replica is an original subject for a collection of Great War military vehicles or for creating a diorama devoted to Allied operations on the Middle East theatre. The open silhouette of the Model T, its spoked wheels, and the onboard armament offer a build project distinct from more familiar armored vehicles at this scale.

As with any plastic model kit, careful preparation of the parts, precise assembly, and progressive painting will help bring out the vehicle’s details. Applying a suitable primer before painting generally makes it easier to achieve an even finish. Light weathering can then be used to recreate the look of a vehicle used in campaign conditions.

At a scale of 1/35, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced by a factor of 35. The ICM 35663 reference fits naturally into First World War model kits, figures, and military diorama elements made to this scale.
