Is it still possible to get a Braille Scale kit for the White Scout Car? Esci used to make one, but that kit seems to be no longer available. Apparently there was also a Cromwell Combat-ready model/toy, but I can't find any more information than that.

I'd even consider scratch building if I could get accurate specs.

Jason, i've just checked the Milicast website and nothing there either i'm afraid. There MUST be one somewhere?...Jim

There's at least one on eBay at the moment.......
Esci M3A1 Scout car

I believe the M3 White Scout car is on the reissue list for Italeri.

I've just built an original Esci M3 scout car as a Soviet one. Not upto today's standards, but still a nice model!

Thanks, guys. Looks like I'll have to keep watch for the reissue.

Frenchy, unfortunately the eBay kit is only available to the UK (it's in the fine print), otherwise I'd owe you a drink.

Are you sure ? Just have a look at the " Postage, payment details and return policy " : the kit "dispatches to worldwide" and you can even calculate the shipping cost to Australia (Royal Mail Airmail -Small Packets = £4.15)....
I've seen the "UK ONLY" warning but I think it's directed at british buyers who have to follow some specific instructions.

All hope is not lost (for you to buy the kit, at least )

Yes, I think you're right. He's worded that "UK only" bit poorly.

I'll have a crack at it. If I don't win that auction, there's another White Scout Car on eBay here.


In any event, I owe you one — is home brew OK?

Don't forget to add the shipping cost . At least you can save the pics as references...





As the saying goes, "it's the thought that counts"

Good luck
