Ian Suds Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Nice build well done. what radio is that? As ex Royal Sigs myself I don't recognise it. Mainly worked with C11/R210, D11 and of course C45. Then C70 as a Radio Relay op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Suds Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Re my last on the radios, just discovered it is more than likely VRC 321 of the Clansman era and not Larkspur as I first thought. Edited February 18, 2017 by Ian Suds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Cheers mate, I think it is based on the 321. I had one of these and a 349 if I remember correctly when I was out on patrol etc. I've just got another in the stash. Still got to complete my 1/24 KFS Ferret as well.

Beefy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Excellent Landy build, love the paint job really bring it alive. Reminds me so much of the good time when I was in the services, love the paint job on the seats, makes the look as uncomfortable as they were then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Suds Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This build and a couple of others I have seen inspired me to try this kit myself. Took a bit of hunting around but have managed to get my hands on one. Made a start today by filling in the fuel filler recess, every FFR I crewed had two tanks one below each front seat. I also removed the fuel tank and will cut it and fit it so that a small part protrudes below the chassis at the correct location. I'm certain that a small part could just be seen. Hope I can do as good a job as you have with the painting and weathering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Suds Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Thanks to this build I took an interest in doing this kit myself. Purchased and now completed, just leaves me to open a finished build thread when the laptop is next fired up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right that they are very obvious when looking from the sides and would be needed if you are losing the rear tank ! Looking forward to seeing more Landies appear ! http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/64146-124-landrover-lightweight/&page=2 Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
