Miniart 1:35 - Scout Car Dingo Mk IA w/Crew - Plastic Model Kit #35087
The Dingo was a British light two-man armoured car, relatively low and wide enough to have the required stability for fast off-road rides. Its initial armour was thin, just enough to stand against infantry ordnance. At the Army’s request, it was thickened, reaching 30mm (1.18 in) on the front nose and glacis. Deflecting armoured sloped panels were welded all around the central framework. The front driving compartment had four opening hatches. The engine was the regular Daimler 6-cyl 2.5 l 55 hp (41 kW), fed by a 300 l (79.25 gal) gasoline reserve (two tanks), which gave an incredible long range for its small size. The transmission consisted of a pre-selector gearbox, fluid flywheel, five forward gears and five reverse gears, allowing steering with all four wheels. This feature gave the Dingo a very tight turning radius, only 7m (23 ft), but the system was tricky to master for inexperienced drivers, so a more conventional design with front-wheel steering was chosen for the Mk.II.
During the course of wartime production, it appeared that the flat bottom plate, which allowed the crossing of uneven ground, was highly vulnerable to mines. The rubber tires were of the run-flat semi-solid type, so no spares were carried, but their toughness was compensated by the massive vertical coil springs, to give a smooth ride. There was a swiveling seat next to the driver, for a machine-gun servant/radio operator, equipped with a N°19 wireless radio set. The base armament was a removable cal. 0.303 (7.7 mm) Bren gun, with a dozen spare magazines. This armament could be swapped over for a heavier Boys antitank rifle (cal 0.55 in/14 mm). This gave the vehicle, which was fast and well-protected, with a good engine and low profile, a real advantage against all sorts of light vehicles, making it perfectly suited for reconnaissance and liaison missions.
The Dingo was produced from 1939 to 1945, and remained virtually unaltered.
The Mark I had a flexible sliding roof and the all-wheel steering. It was difficult to handle for inexperienced drivers.
The Mark IA was a sub-variant equipped with a folding roof.
The Mark IB had a reverse cooling air flow and new armored grilles for the radiator, allowing better ventilation. The bulk of these vehicles served in the Libyan desert.
The Mark II had a revised steering system, using only the front wheels. The lighting equipment was modernised, altogether with the Mark IB modification range.
The Mark III was the final version, coming in 1944 with a waterproof ignition system and no roof at all.
The kit contains 303 parts.
Includes parts for one armoured car and two figures.

Miniart 1:35 - British Bantam 40 BRC w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35324
At the outbreak of WWII, the American Army starting looking for a General Purpose Vehicle. The American Bantam Company came up with a design that passed rigorous testing, but they didn’t have the required capacity for the mass production. As the Government now owned the design, they contracted out the build to Willys Overland and Ford in 1941, and they came up with a slightly altered version in the form of the familiar Willys Jeep.
The American Bantam company did end up producing 2675 Bantam BRC- 40’s, but once the US Army standardised the production of the Ford and Willys version all the Bantams were either issued to Britain or Russia under the Lend Lease scheme. The British used the some of the limited number they received in the Desert Campaign in North Africa.

Miniart 1:35 - British Tank Mk. III Valentine V - Plastic model kit #35106
The Mk. III Valentine was a British infantry tank produced during World War II. The tank had many variants, and over 8000 vehicles of this type were produced. There are several versions of why the tank was called "Valentine", most popular being that the design was presented to the War Office on the 14th of February.
Initially Vickers produced 10 tanks per month, rising to 45 per month, and peaking at 20 per week in 1943. Production of the Valentine and vehicles based on the Valentine stopped in 1945. A total of 2,515 vehicles were produced by Vickers-Armstrong, and 2,135 were manufactured by Metropolitan. The Mk. III Valentine was also built under licence in Canada, with 1,420 vehicles produced. Most of these tanks were sent to the Soviet Union.
The British Army used the Valentine in the North African Campaign. As for the Soviet service, the tank was used from the Battle of Moscow until the end of the war.
