Scale Reproduction of the British Small Staff Car

This model presents a faithful 1/48 scale interpretation of the British Small Staff Car, highlighting the vehicle's practical wartime design. The original ran a modest four-cylinder 22-kW engine, emphasising reliability over speed.

Civilian Origins and Military Role

Built from a civilian chassis, the staff car was adapted for military tasks and this kit reproduces the conversion details. Features such as the auxiliary seat and spare tyre carrier are modelled to provide authentic assembly choices.

Construction Notes and Display Potential

The finished model measures 84mm in length at 1/48 scale, offering a pleasant build that suits both newcomers and seasoned modellers. Choose either the lowered or rolled rear hood flap for different staging, and refer to the medium blue used by Royal air units when finishing the bodywork.

Yes, the kit provides options such as the down or rolled-up rear hood flap so you can customise the final presentation for diorama scenes.
Modellers often add fine detail items like metal wheel hubs, aftermarket decals, or interior enhancements to raise realism without major rework.
Moderate weathering can enhance authenticity, especially for a staff car that saw service; focus on subtle grime and paint wear rather than heavy battle damage.
