Although it looks like a steampunk Mad Max vehicle, the bizarre Sizaire-Berwick Wind Wagon was a serious, if flawed, attempt by the World War I British military to produce a vehicle that could “fly” across the desert dunes. The stripped down luxury car was fitted with armor plating and an aircraft engine mounted at the rear. Unfortunately, the narrow tires didn’t work well on sand, and the exposed engine was constantly breaking down. Mark scratchbuilt the car in 1/35 scale and painted it with Floquil enamels.
