The pictured officer reminds me of General Mac Arthur. He used this car (http://budwells.com/2014/11/229/ ), just like General Eisenhower did, as seen in the 1944 picture below :
Both men are included in the Tamiya set :

Yes! 1000 times yes! I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I built the Bandai 1/48 version in 1976. This is without doubt the coolest armored car of WWII and no one has released it in 1/35 styrene!
For me it would have to be a Mack NO.
Love these trucks.

YES! Thanks Dan!
Heck no. I am still waiting for Tamiya to release their 41 Ford Sedan in 1/35th - why have it only in 1/48 and still no 1/35? 1/48 model was probably pre-digital era so they would have to start from scratch on tooling the 1/3 model.
I asked them to do it on your behalf.
Have you read any online builds of the Takom kit?

I know someone’s doing one on a Dutch forum. And is less then impressed by the running gear so far.

Yeah the running gear is a little fiddly. Ken Abrams has no problem with it. There’s a Youtube video out in which the reviewer trashes the kit, turns out he’s just a crappy builder. It’s a decent kit.
Seen both, still doesn’t look like a pleasant build.
