I'd like to do an Inns of Court Regiment armoured car from NWE. My questions:
Will a MiniArt Dingo Mk.III be correct?
Can anyone give me any pointers as to markings for this unit?
Thanks!!

Strictly speaking a MkIII Dingo would seem to be something of an anachronism - the great majority of these were delivered post war
Having said that, there are a number of MkIIs that share the key spotting features of the MkIII - the absence of the folding roof and the dicky seat were factory MkIII features but may have been influenced by modifcations made in the field as many late MkIIs show the same features.
As far as I know the other identifier of the MkIII was the waterproofed engine, and I don't know that there was any visible external change with this mod. So in general the MkIII kit could be used to represent some MkII Dingos, but not all.
The Inns of Court did have Dingos capable of wading and many of their cars seem to show the other MkIII spotting features. There are some pictures on this site: -
