I really wish Bronco would come out with a model of the Daimler mk1 or mk2. They already have a model of the Tetrarch so I would hope a big Daimler is on the way as well,

I've been wishing for one of these for years.

Yeah my dad was a driver in one. I'd love to be able to build one in his memory but I think the Accurate Armour kit is way abouve my skill set.

A 1/35 Daimler Armored Car in plastic is LONG overdue. And, I think it would be a very good seller and would be easy to produce by a company as there are many real ones to measure.

Accurate Armour makes them, but they're a bit more expensive:

Having seen it and their Ferret kit as well, my personal opinion is they are not worth the money by any means. Back in the day when they were first released they were good kits, but they are just not up to today's standards of what can be produced in styrene. Happy for anyone to disagree with me....
