NEW BOXART OF GECKO 1/35 SCALE BRITISH DAIMLER ARMOURED CAR MK I WITH FIGHTING COMPARTMENT STRUCTURE… Some pictures... NEW TEST SHOT OF GECKO MODELS 1/35 SCALE BRITISH DAIMLER ARMOURED CAR MK I WITH FIGHTING COMPARTMENT STRUCTURE… ...here we go... The Daimler Armoured car entered service during 1941 and served in all theatres. It was used extensively in the Second World War and served with the British Army into the 1960s. The Qatari Armed Forces only retired their examples within the last few years. Gecko Models 35GM0011 Daimler Armoured Car Mk1 Kit 1/35 - Price to be Advised This Diamler Mk1 Armoured Car model has full interior detail and options include both a Littlejohn Adapter and PLM mounting with twin Vickers Ks I'm not used to posting in this area - any thoughts??? any other news???

Enjoy - Steve 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 It was posted in the WWII armour section, and possibly in the proposed Armoured Car GB thread for next year. I've not seen any posting anywhere for the actual release date. The Gecko Models home page doesn't even show it as a future release. regards, Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG X Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 UPDATE - I received an email from @TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED this morning... Hi Steve, I’ve spoken with my colleague who orders Gecko and they have informed me that unfortunately we’ve been given no price or release date for the product, only information that it will be coming out. So at least we know it is on the horizon - I'll just have to keep an eye on their website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Over at Track-link forums, David Nickels is doing a build review. Interesting the number of comments of some not interested in obtaining the kit due to the high parts count and complexity. https://www.track-link.com/forums/site_blogs/50424/flat regards, Jack Edited December 27, 2021 by JackG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I just checked out that build review on Track-Link. Wow! It's magnificent, but it's not modelling the way I want it to be - or could cope with, to be frank. An amazing kit, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 A member over at missinlynx has offered to design the suspension units for 3D printing in order to avoid the 30 plus parts x 4 from the Gecko kit. It is interesting the comment that even with all those parts, Gecko has simplified the overall shape of the suspension. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/gecko-daimler-suspension-units-t330306-s10.html From what I gather, other than being an overly complicated kit, the main knock is the lack of weld beads on the main body, and a roof that does not fit all too well. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
