How many people would like to see a model (any scale) of the Daimler armored car (not the Dingo scout car)? An almost forgotten vehicle. The only model I can remember is Bandai's 1/48 many, many years ago.

Hasegawa does one 1/72 in plastic, and Accurate Armor has one in 1/35 in resin and so does Sovereign I think.
That being said, I think it would be nice with one in 1/35 plastic too.

I definitely would like a plastic 1/35 Daimler AC. An important but neglected AFV.

On this subject of armored cars, I would like to see a Panhard 178B and Coventry MK 2 to fill out my Indochina armor.

Count me as wanting to see a nice 1/35 Daimler Mark 1 and 2 armored car in plastic.

Maybe ICM or MiniArt will make us one. (Or Bronco).

I'd like one too. I have the AA one still in its box and there it will stay....horribly cast. I built the sovereign one and that was ok for it's time but I'm sure Bronco or someone could do a really good job.

Since Bronco has kitted many of the 1/35 Brit AC's and SC's, I've always thought they would be the one that would "do" the Daimler... Fingers still crossed.

I'd love to see a Coventry AC as well.

I can hear the Daimler AC in 1:35 styrene thirst out there! Count me in.

IBG, Bronco, ICM, MiniArt, even Hobby Boss (IF they do some homework before imagining an interior! ) would get my dollars for one, too!

Given the super-duper jobs Bronco has done on its various Humbers and MiniArt on its Daimler scoutcars and on those great AEC monsters... either of these companies might just eventually put one out which your mini-me could just climb into and drive away in, proviso of course that ol' mini stands about 2 inches tall!

Hopefully, ICM will do the 178B that has a different turret and gun.
