The Humber Scout Car is a British light armored car of the Second World War. The first prototypes were built in 1941, and serial production continued in 1941-1944. In total, about 4,100 copies of this car were produced. The Humber Scout Car was equipped with an 88 horsepower engine. The basic version of the machine was armed with one 15-mm machine gun and a paired 7.7-mm Bren machine gun. The Humber Scout Car was designed to complement the hugely successful Daimler Dingo. It was generally similar to the Dingo – for example, it also used a four-wheel chassis – but had a different engine. Also, in the Humber Scout Car, emphasis was placed on high mobility, low cost and high maximum speed due to the main armament and armor. In the course of production, several experimental versions of this car were created. The first to go into production was a version called the Mk I. Soon an anti-aircraft version (QUAD AA) appeared, armed with four machine guns, but it never went into mass production. Later Mk. II, which had improved armor and a better transmission. The next version was the Mk. II OP, which was a reconnaissance variant armed with two Besa 7.92mm machine guns. Version Mk. III, which had a new tower. Finally, the last development was the Mk. IV, armed with a 37mm M5 or M6 gun. Machines of this type were used mainly during hostilities in Italy, France and West Germany in the period 1943-1945. They were also used by the Polish Armed Forces in the West (PES). Package Contents: A set of polystyrene plastic models, an exact detailed copy of the real model.
