Adding to the previous release of a SAS vehicle, Dragon Models has announced another variant of this vehicle in 1/35 scale.

This jeep is the same as the previous SAS kit save for a new .50 (available on aftermarket sites galore) and two new figures (can't they release them separately?). Dragon should cut us a break now and then. The first jeep kit is excellent and with only two new items these should make a great pair of SAS troopers coming back from a raid diorama.

Somehow I just can't get excited over this one, as the 50 cal and mount as already stated is readily available as aftermarket item. They could have simply released the figures as a small set, or tooled up with a few more LRDG figures.

Are the figures really different from the previous release? I mean they could have chosen to only give new alternate heads and arms...

Time will tell.

Cheers,

They did it in 1/6th scale (the European version).

I do like the two piece body tub. The removing of the bracing on the grill it would have been less costly just to tell the modeler to remove them on the instruction sheet no retooling needed.
Oh about the two piece body tub does that explain the bracing along the floor and outer wall on their other releases.
