'Reconnaissance' from LeeH: Mark I Dingo Scout Car

As usual I found myself scratching my head for a bit when I first read the list of bonus rounds. But this is what I love about these rounds, it gets the creative juices flowing and gives us a chance to explore a wider range of possibilities... or in my case buy stuff on eBay! I've gone with a simple Dingo Scout Car by Zvezda but ended up putting more effort into the base than the actual model. 

The original specification for this vehicle was issued in 1938 and by 1939 the first vehicles were being ordered and entering service. This was probably one of the best armoured scout cars of the war and continued service in the British army well into the 1950's. 

The Dingo had 30mm of frontal armour but its real defence was its top speed of 55mph. It was usually armed with either a  .303 in Bren gun or a .55 Boys Anti-tank Rifle but these were for defence only. 

I used a mixture of varnishes to flatten the colour on the vehicle but emphasise the 'wet' ground. I also used a Vallejo textured paint to get the mud looking right and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. 

A simple entry for the bonus round but one I hope you like.
