Hmm interesting, a Dingo mk.I. Could this mean that we will get a BEF Dingo mk.I kit soon?

That's the one I'm waiting for although you never know, despite the name on the box, there could be BEF decals inside. I think there are enough bits on the sprues to build a standard British Mk.1. Basically replace the MG 34 and ammo boxes with the Bren and there you go.
Be nice to have some early British crew to go with it though.

Cheers,

Yup, easy to convert into a standard British Dingo mk.I by making a few changes. The kit doesn't contain any British markings like the first 'beute' Dingo so let's hope that they do an official BEF/early North Africa Dingo next.
The decals are shown on the Miniart website ['News']:

Thanks Theo,

looking on the bright side, perhaps the lack of BEF decals may mean we get a dedicated BEF version in the future. It would be very nice to get some early British crewmen.

I found that there is a little more than I originally thought that you have to do to turn this Mk.1 into a BEF Dingo but it is all fairly easy and mostly subtractive.

Cheers,
