SAS Land Rover, not pink!


Recommended Posts

Finally finished it, not 100% happy but pleased with how it turned out. It represents the factory fresh version as built by Marshalls and is based on a couple of pictures from the official manual, plus lots of magazine articles and photos.

Thats a lovely model, I remember the Pathfinder Platoon using these in the 1980`s in a green and black scheme with regular tyres and they were covered with camouflage scrim,....they looked like bushes armed with Gimpy`s!

Great stuff,

Tony

Thanks for the kind comments, I'm about 98 per cent happy with it but kept finding more details too add and had to hand paint it instead of spraying it, but now know the pitfalls. I had started to use tamiya masking tape for the canvas bits but someone suggested rizla papers and white glue which was much better.

The next two I'm doing will be early 70s in Northern Ireland and an earlier type modified by The unit this will be based on the Italeri kit as it is not as good as the tamiya for a Marshalls conversion.
