I scratch build an armored car named Russia used by the White forces during period of the 1918-1919 on the FWD base. I used FWD chassis recently released by the Roden. Hope you would like it.

The chevron insignia form the Osprey book Armored Units of the Russian Civil war white and Red. "The volunteer army used the popular chevron before Denikin made it official for the AFSR (armed forces of South Russia) in April 1919. This appeared on the sides of armored cars and command vehicles , armored trains and troops trains. In April 1920 Wrangel made the roundel official and eliminated the chevron in the new Russian army."
The AFSR in the fall of 1918 had the railway workshops at Tikoretskia produce three cars, the General Alekseev, Russia and Diktator built on Burford , Jefferies and White truck chassis.
Interesting kit ZigZag. I would also like to say it looks like it is named Russia. I don't know what happened to it but there is mention in September-October 1919 of a armored car named Russia (gun car) with the 2nd Armored car detachment of the Independent forces of Kiev region. I sort of doubt it was the same one. because the one you made a model of has machine guns not cannon. I hope this of some use
