"The Daimler Scout Car, known in service as the Daimler "Dingo" (after the Australian wild dog), was a British light fast four-wheel drive reconnaissance vehicle also used in the liaison role during the Second World War". (Wikipedia)
"The Dingo was a small two-man armored car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armor was thin, just enough to withstand infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30 mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armored sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four openings hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredibly long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five gears forward and five gears reverse, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7 m (23 ft). However, the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design of front-wheel steering only was chosen on the Mk.II. The design of the transmission was optimized for compactness, centrally positioned, with the prop shaft running on either side.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride (about 8 in/20.3 cm of vertical deflection). There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it excellently suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions".

O kit!
E já comecei pelo primer.
Dessa vez estou experimentando um primer em spray.
É bom, mas borrifei muito perto e isso causou um pouco de deformação ao plástico.
Nada que comprometa nenhuma das duas montagens.
Provavelmente não vá usar nada do diorama, mas ele é bem legal.
Já comecei a pintar e colar.
E foi isso por enquanto.
Sei que o andamento das coisas vai diminuir por que volto a trabalhar amanhã.
Isso vai vai dificultar tanto as montagens, quanto as postagens e o acompanhamento das montagens dos amigos.
Mas sempre que puder e conseguir, estarei por aqui!
