If this were real.. I'd want to hug it!

For those who don't recognize the chassis, the Daimler Mk.I was a real armored car used by British forces in WWII. In the fictional world of "Operation: Dragon Slayer", like many originally wheeled or tracked AFVs, it has been adapted to operate w/ legs, both in order to compete against the high mobility of enemy walkers, and to keep up w/ friendly mech units. Some notes on the real Mk.I which still apply to this model:

"The Daimler armored car was based on the same design as the Daimler scout car. Outwardly similar, it weighed [more than] twice as much and had a two-man turret. Work began in 1939, but initial problems meant that the first production vehicles did not appear until April 1941. A total of 2,694 were built. The turret was the same as that designed for the Tetrarch light airborne tank... First employed in North Africa, the vehicle established itself as an excellent addition to reconnaissance units, despite its limited combat capability, giving good all-round performance and reliability..."
