Did I ever mention how much I like armoured cars? I think I would actually like a real one to drive around in, which would also solve any frustrations with other drivers quite quickly. This is the second Daimler from Hasegawa I have built and it was just as fun the second time. Nice and easy to build, not too many tiny bits and the plastic cuts and glues nicely. They include these weird metal axles in some of these kits which you have to superglue to stop the wheels revolving. It does mean the underneath lacks detail, but I don’t care about that once it’s based on it nice bit of textured MDF.

I did add some stowage, rolled up stuff and a pick axe, I think from Value Gear and an Airfix spare. I had seen another modeller add two aerials to his Daimler so I copied that. I am still deciding if I need to go skinnier with my aerials, but then I need them to be visible and easy to replace so perhaps tougher is better than a more realistic scale. AB figures supplied the very relaxed commander, who looks like he is ready for a nap. I think he should be paying more attention.
