Conclusion
I am a huge fan of Copper State Models’ kits and thoroughly enjoyed building this one. They produce kits of some very esoteric and interesting subjects from the First World War that I would never have expected to see in kit form, let alone as high-quality injection moulded kits.
The Garford-Putilov was operated by several different forces and there were some differences between individual vehicles. This might give the modeller some scope for making something a little ‘different’ such as the vehicle shown in the photo below with snow chains around the tyres and extra armoured shields around the machine guns.

Here’s my summary
