Gecko Models 35GM0028 Mk 1 Sawn Off Daimler (SOD) 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing a unique version of the British Daimler Mk I armored car in 1:35 scale. This model kit belongs to the "plastic model kit" category and has been created with advanced enthusiasts of historical military vehicle reconstructions from World War II in mind.

Daimler Armoured Car Mk I was one of the most important armored cars used by the British Army and Commonwealth units between 1941 and 1945. The model known as the "Sawn Off Daimler" (SOD) depicts a distinctive, shortened version of this vehicle, used mainly for patrol and reconnaissance missions, where increased maneuverability and a reduced vehicle profile were crucial. This vehicle was utilized during the North African campaign, in Italy, and during combat in Western Europe, with examples seen in British reconnaissance units during Operation Overlord and the liberation of France.
