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.

Very good build and paint job. You know, I’d not noticed how sleepy that figure looked before you mentioned it !
I’ve not driven one but riding in an AC is a lot of fun! I’ve had the fortune to ride in a Scout and Ferret, the scout is still rather nippy!

Hey Will I think that you should stick with the Landrover mate as, maybe just maybe you would stand out ripping around in an armoured car😅😅. Love the model though it certainly came up well enough to make you dreamy 😅😅👍🏻

One of the more effective armoured cars from WW2.

Very nice model, Will! 🙂 I think I’d opt for stronger aerials rather than scale thickness ones – fine brass wire might work if you can drill out the aerial mounts!

thanks John – yes maybe thin wire would be better – i read some people use guitar strings?
