Early War Miniatures
British Daimler Armoured Car
20mm Scale
New, sealed resin kit with white metal accessories.
Ref No : BARMC4
The Daimler armoured car replaced the British Humber and was used extensively in the North Western Europe campain in 1944. Its design was a larger version of the Dingo. Armed with the British QF 2 pounder and a coaxial 7.92 Besa Machine gun. To improve the 2 pounder some were fitted with the Littlejohn adaptor which acted like a squeezebore and increased the guns penetrating ability. It had a crew of 3 with a top speed of 50mph and an operational range of 200 miles.
From Normandy to Berlin, the Daimler was at the head of the armoured divisions in a reconnaissance role. Frequently shot up and depending on speed and quick wits to survive, the Daimler crews were legendary and saved thousands of lives. They remained in British service with TA units until the 1960s in Northern Ireland although they also served in Korea, Vietnam, 1948 Arab-Israeli war and Indo-Pakistani war.
The kit is a 20mm kit with a resin cast hull and white metal parts. Includes 2 additional crew, spare wheel and stowage.
Whether for wargaming or just building for display this brand new kit is a beauty. Not to be missed.
