HI: What do you long time armor builders think of them ? I have one and it’s blowing my mind. Not only does it have what every car modeler wants (a full engine/tranny) but multiple piece hard tires ! Where do they come up with these things ?
I have a 1/35 scale " DICKER MAX ) and the FRUILMODEL tracks for it . This is a whole new ball game . Any input ? let me know your thoughts . I also have the re-release of the M-48 A -2 ? by MONOGRAM/REVELL. talk about thick plastic !
These staff cars fascinate me though . AND they are NOT cars you can find in 1/24 or 1/25 scale . I like most open top lightskin and heavy armor too,It’s the inside detail , I guess . Tanker-builder
Hey TB… not really sure what your question is. But if you’re asking if you should build one, I would say you’ve answered your own question. Lets look at the bullet points[whstl]

I will add they are not built often and would love to see some WIP pis as ya go.[;)]
Yeah staff cars are pretty cool, not everything is a tank or a jeep. One of the guys in our club converted a civilian model car kit into a staff car, I wish I could remember what the vehicle was now.
TB: Is your staff car American, British, German, etc? I’ve got a tiny little Japanese Kurogane in resin somewhere in my stash- it’s almost more a jeep though. You expect the door to pop open and about fifty clowns to jump out!
I’m kind of fond of picking up older models 'coz I’m cheap and not excessively worried about minute detail from the manufacturer. I did an old Revell/Italeri Horch Command car and I thought it was the schizz. It’s still the best weathering job I’ve done. I’m partial to the smaller models anyway. They just seem more up my alley.
