1/72 Dingo 1B, Sûreté nationale de Haiti

[Vorcha]

Hi,
so this started as my contribution to the one week build, but I underestimated how much time I'd need... so I continue as a normal build.

The kit is the Revell Dingo 1 in 1/72nd scale. To be honest, I like the Dingo 2 more, but there is no kit in this scale so you got to go with what is available. 
[correction, I just went over to scalemates and voilà, there is a Dingo 2 from Y-Modelle I like, but the price is listed as €41,50; I paid €5 for my kit. Paying that kind of price tag is currently not within my reach, bot I do hope to win the lottery some day... ]

My plan with this kit is to make it longer, fit 9 police officers inside and add a dozer blade and a turret of armored glass around the machine gun. The story goes like this: 
Germany retires the Dingo 1 after acquiring the Dingo 2 and gifts some of the vehicles to Haiti's police force, which has been renamed to Sûreté nationale de Haiti...
And in Haiti it is rebuilt to match the new requirements...





...the white figure is 1,80 metres high in this scale...
I already lengthened all relevant parts by 1cm, which makes the vehicle 72 cenbtimetres longer in 1/1 scale. The original Dingo 2 is only 63 centimetres longer than the Dingo 1.
