In from Ace, an announcement of an upcoming Staff Car in 1/72 scale. And should be of very interest to British fans.

I hadn't realised that Ace are producing a lot of these military used cars. Would be nice to see some reviewed on this site.

This is an Austin 8, and since no new vehicle has been produced under the Austin name for some years, it seems odd that they, like Tamiya, have avoided the brand name, but maybe there is a good reason for that.

The sprue shots point to more variants on this chassis, and their site shows a hard top and a pick up that are similar.
