Hey guys
My dad is in Kuwait right now for business and whatnot but anyways my dad took 2 pics of an armored car. Can you guys help with the ID? Thanks in advance.
It’s an Alvis Saladin.

Tamiya made a kit of the Saladin many years ago.
Where did you take that picture at? I saw a vehicle like that when I went TDY at Port Hueneme, Ca (I think I spelled it right) at their Seabee museum there.
Thanks
falcon my Dad took it somewhere in Kuwait.
good photos, i wonder if its one of the Salladins that were in the main square in the invasion of Kuwait
Yes. definitely looks like a Saladin. I made that Tamiya kit that Phil C mentioned. It was a 1/35 motorized kit with not so accurate details. Does the British Army still use that?
No it was fazed out years ago
the ausies used the turrets from theres on M113s in Vietnam
