Default Daimler Dingo

Hi all,
Here's a few pics of my latest build. She's nearly done, just a few more details then a proper paint-job.

You guys are amazing. Really, why don't you offer these for sale? I bet you'd sell a ton of 'em!

The photos of the Dingos that Fynsdad and Flamme have posted made me dust off the one I built shortly after I retired in 2001......sheeesh......how time flies! At the time, one of the two Tamiya 1/16 R/C Kubelwagens I had was kind enough to donate its' R/C parts to make my Dingo R/C. It took some surgery (shortening it about an inch) to get things to fit properly and I named it Frank N. Dingo when I got done with it. It worked well on smooth, level surfaces....but it was not really an off the road buggy. A 1/16 scale speed bump was no problem, but that's about it.

The Losi 1/24 Micro Rock Crawler and 1/24 Micro 4x4 Trail Trekker look like something that would work for a half dozen scout or armored cars that I would like to do. I'm sure I can talk myself into buying both..............

I dunno, set up a cross fire between that, the bulldog and the M16 - and I could conceivably kill a King Tiger whilst only taking one hit...
