Dingo 2 GE A3.3 PatSi: The modern protector for your collection
Tracked vehicles or models from bygone eras often dominate military dioramas. However, if you wish to reflect the current reality of the Bundeswehr and modern armed forces, you cannot overlook specialised wheeled vehicles. This is exactly where the Dingo 2 in the A3.3 PatSi version fills an important gap. This model brings cutting-edge peacekeeping and patrol technology directly to your modelling table. You are not building an attack vehicle here, but rather a symbol of security and protection that should be part of every modern collection.
That makes this kit a highlight
• Detailed technology: The complex structure of the mine-protected chassis is precisely recreated using 238 individual parts.
• Special version: The kit features the PatSi variant (patrol and security), including the characteristic loading area with a hardtop.
• Realistic appearance: The angular, protective shape of the original is perfectly captured in 1:35 scale.
• Interior details: The interior of the vehicle, in which the crew is safely accommodated, can also be modelled in great detail.
• Authentic finish: The included set of decals allows you to mark up your display model or diorama true to the original.
• Challenging project: As a level 4 kit, this model challenges you and enhances your understanding of complex assemblies and precision gluing.
The Dingo 2 is known for its robust, confidence-inspiring appearance, and that is precisely the presence the finished model exudes. Whilst assembling it, you will notice how well thought-out the V-shaped safety cell is – a detail that saves lives in the original and is technically fascinating in model-making. The hardtop variant gives the vehicle a closed, compact silhouette that stands out clearly from the tarpaulin variants.
This project is ideal for you if you are interested in modern military technology and value realism. The 17.5 cm length offers ample space for detailed paintwork, whether in classic NATO camouflage or desert camouflage for operational scenarios. With this kit, you’ll be bringing home a piece of engineering that showcases what mobile security looks like today.
Background information
The Dingo 2 is regarded as one of the safest wheeled vehicles in its class worldwide. Built on a highly off-road capable Unimog chassis, it was specifically developed for overseas missions where the threat of mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is ever-present. The “PatSi” version (patrol and security vehicle) in expansion level A3.3 optimises this protection even further. Its distinctive feature lies in the combination of mobility and maximum safety for the occupants. For many soldiers, the Dingo is more than just a means of transport – it is the life insurance policy that gets them home safely.
