If you go to your local library you may be able to find Jane's Armored Fighting Vehicles or other Jane's publications. These have a wealth of information. I also am investigating building a full scale WWII 4x4 out of fiberglass. I have selected the British Daimler Armored Combat Car MkII, aka "Dingo" It is a practical size. The British have a long history of using armored combat cars. Post WWII the British replaced the Dingo with another model, the name of which I forget. The newer model had a lot less of the unusual angles on the Dingo, presumable incoporated to deflect shells. The US had a 4X4 armored car in WWII, the T17 Staghound. It was used mostly by the British. It was larger than the Dingo, a full 18 feet long. The US also employed a 6x6 armored car in WWII, the M8 Greyhound. The US also has some interesting current armored cars, like the 8X8 LAV-25, or new varients of the HMMWV (Hum-Vee). I am interested to hear of your progress.
