MiniArt limited have just sent us the first sprue shots of their long-awited Dingo Scout Car in 1/35th scale. The photo report can be seen;

I had a die-cast version of this as a kid that I adored. Must get it when it appears.

Hi Guys,

Looks pretty good, and I'm glad they are doing vehicles with crews, that's a major plus.

Does not look good at all.

"First Dingo Sprue Images"

I have thought this thread would be about the first Bundeswehr Dingo in 1:35...

Looks really nice! Hope they sell well so that they produce some other British armoured cars.

Yeah, probably MOST people would have thought that as well.... Or, perhaps not...

Still better that than another Tiger or Paper Panther

Hey Guys

I recently picked this kit up because it had the decals for the Canadian Dingo for the Dieppe raid. When I got it home and started reviewing the instructions to the Dieppe raid pictures from "Through the Lens" I realized that Miniart has got it all wrong!!

The Canadians didn't take Mark 1bs to Dieppe they took Mark IIs!!

I looked to see if the right parts were included in the sprues, but they're not.... Decals for the wrong Dingo version!!

I'm going to swap my Mark 1b for a Mark II when they hit the stores... atleast I have a good relationship with my LHS. Man what a disappointment... I guess I should have done more research before I made the purchase... no more impulse buys!

I hope other people going to build a Dieppe Dingo don't make the same mistake I did!
