Nice project. I built mine OOTB some times ago. The PE sets will be a great addition, in particular for the interior.
Good luck.

Have a look at my site. I have an article with the main obersvations about the build and the fit. I hope your doors are not twisted as mine were. Otherwise, your front passenger could be of no use.

Nice project. I don't know the DOLP Modellbau figures.
For the Dingo, ISAF blazons decals have strange colors and scheme. It is preferable to replace them by an Echelon reference for example, who is much realistic.

Thank you guys. And the doors in my kit don't seem to be warped. They look fine. We'll see.

Nice kit of a nice vehicle. The PE shiuld really enhance it. The only real issue I had with the base kit when doing mine was the solid filling between thecwing mirrors and the arm they are on.
good Luck with it

Looks really good so far. The PE interior parts do really enhance the base kit.

Very nice! The PE set really does spruce up the interior quite a bit.

I just realized that the colors in the instructions are reversed!
Olivier followed the instructions to the T and ended up like this:
But the real vehicle should look like this:
The olive is switched with the brown!
Another BooBoo for Revell

I've seen different paint scheme applied to the German ISAF vehicles.
I'll check in the Tankograd book if the scheme offered by Revell is correct.

I have been searching the web for the pattern suggested by Revell, but can not find it. The reversed one yes:

It looks like Revell messed up the "official" scheme (or is it me who didn't follow the instructions?). However, when you look at the Tankograd book, you can notice that many of the Dingo2 do not have any regular scheme.
The crew may have mixed the sand beige and brown when applying them to the vehicle.
So as a conclusion, painting a Dingo in Desert camouflage is really up to you
