Land Rover Kit???

[suicidehummer]

Does anyone make a kit of the old
'52 Land rover station wagons...

[Technoman]

Esci made a few back in the day of various guises like Safari versions etc. Hard to find now and demand a high premium om eBay..

[suicidehummer]

F**k!

I love land rovers, and my
bro has one, thats why I
asked.

I believe Airfix made a kit of it too and I am certain there are military versions available.

[SteveK2003]

Airfix/Heller makes a 1/43 version, but the tires suck.

[suicidehummer]

1:43 is too small, would piss me off

[suicidehummer]

Tamiya has an ambulance, but that has the ambulance rear

[alakai]

Tamiya also makes an open top military Land Rover in 1/35 scale, although it make take some effort to demilitarize it.

It's exactly how they looked, mostly when used for desert service.

If Tamiya had decided to make this model would you still think they were retarded?

Tamiya isn't retarded, you just don't know your Landrover generations.

OK, lets clear this up,
this is tamiya's land rover


This is a real army land rover


this is an army jeep


hmm, the tamiya looks more like the jeep!
What a surprise.

what i meant was the style was jeep-like,
not the car. they didn't cut the roofs

[suicidehummer]

Oh, don't you say that, you don't know me,
my brother has had FOUR landrovers, and I
helped him restore every one. I THINK I
KNOW MY ROVERS!

If Tamiya had decided to make this model would you still think they were retarded?

No, that'd be cool!

[freakray]

If you know your generations, you'd know the Tamiya kit is a 1950-1960's variant



The headlights got moved from the center grille area in the 70's. The whole front fascia became flat later.
