Miniart 1/35 Dingo Mk.III Scout Car w/Crew (53088)

This article will tell you more about Miniart 1/35 Dingo Mk.III Scout Car w/Crew (53088). New release comes as the combo-set in popular scale. One box will bring you car, figures and even some bags to place on top. All this sounds like an interesting diorama starter, so it will be worth checking what is supplied inside. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, and all frames are sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them and take a closer look together.

Watch this video-review where I show all parts even closer.

First frame is one of the biggest here because it carries hull panels and some interior parts. Overall design is quite straightforward to glue together, and there are guiding elements to help you.

Next small frames carry external panels as well as some equipment for the crew. Note that there are more items than figurines, and some will go into your spare parts box.

Here we can see various bags which should be placed on the car. This is quite nice addition to get in the standard package, so try to place those in some convincing way.

Miniart also copied nicely the whole suspension on the car.

Car design is also notable for its separately molded hatches. Such a thing might be useful for some build ideas and also for showing what is inside.

Figurines come on the separate frame. There are two crew members included, and overall parts design is rather typical for this scale. Keep in mind that there are no guiding pins or anything of this sort.

Roadwheels are made out of plastic and look great.

Yes, there are even PE parts included! Some of those are quite tiny, so be ready to work with tweezers in certain areas.

Decals are printed in Cartograf, and it means that you don't have to worry about quality here. All four marking options can be seen on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

Even though original release happened way back in 2009, whole set still looks great. Moreover, this time Miniart decided to make it combo, and it can turn into a nice diorama. I like that there is also some space for weathering and painting experiments, what might be fun in 1/35 scale. The only thing you would have to add - some convincing diorama base for the whole car and its crew.
