Natter Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hi All, Matador Models make some lovely kits and some fantastic conversion and upgrade sets for us braille scale modellers. This is the first of their kits I have built, though I used their Alamein M3 conversion set and have two others to use on Airfix 1/76 kits. As you can see from my tagline that I rather like Land Rovers, though a decent Lightweight is beyond the range of my savings and likely to stay that way. Now I have one in my display cabinet though, albeit a rather small non-runner. Matador's offerings are resin and white metal, this being an all resin kit. The kit includes a couple of Clansman TUAMs and a set of tools, but I decided not to use them. I added the gearchange lever and the two change levers, but you can't see them so they were a pointless addition. As we modellers understand though - I know they're there. The windows are Micro Krystal Klear, but I should have tried making them out of thin clear acetate. I added Little Lenses for headlights. I still have to try and make decal number plates, but my printer is not playing at the moment so they'll have to wait for now. Thank you for stopping by to look. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Smart little kit, done well. The licence plates will really make it 'zing' when they are on. Rearguards Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Oh, that's very nice... just seems to be missing a teeny-tiny union flag on the back... ;-P As for the ratio levers, I bet they were satisfying... do they have the red and yellow knobs in a military one? Small is beautiful... best, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
