Last weekend I picked up the old Tamiya Daimler MkII Scout Car kit at Soonercon and figured that I could build it for this campaign by placing it in Libya in 1942.
Since the kit is from the 1970's, it is not as detailed or as nice as the Miniart Dingo kits, but I think I can make this look pretty decent before giving it to my Grandson for his military vehicle collection.
The Tamiya kit is very basic being that it is 1970's injection molding technology that produced the kit. It will be a quick build due to the low parts count, but there are some limitations and fit issues.
Since I like to have figures with my vehicles, I decided to go ahead and build and paint the driver figure that came with the kit. Here he is in a mostly built Dingo.
It went together pretty quick, but it does look very basic compared to kits made today.
Cheers,
James
