Actually for some strange reasons, its about 1/8th scale, 1.77:1 from best I can work out. Will post more pics soon. Sorry right answer, wrong question!!

Thanks for that offer Simmerit, I will probably take you up on that, I cant find enough detailed info on the web. For me, it was the Landy that got away!

If that hasnt worked I'm going to go off and slash my wrists!

Hi Reggie, nice, what scale is that?

Maybe I cracked it?

I'll try this then http://s613.photobucket.com/user/mikeb3/library/?sort=3&page=1

No apparently that isnt what it wants,Damn!

Thanks Kirk, I am part way there, got them on photobucket cant find the photogenic sprout though! is this what it wants http://s613.photobucket.com/user/mikeb3/library/ Not an expert in any sense at all and definitely not in a military way so cant answer that question/ I have just owned quite a few of them, best vehicles I ever had, no electronics!!

New to the forum and hoping to pick up some tips and learn from all you talented modellers out there. I have owned all variants of landrover, except one, over the years. I always fancied a airportable but never got round to it, so I thought I'd model one instead! Couldnt find a kit that took my fancy(is there a decent one?) so I started a scratch build. Had plenty of experience in workshops over the years but havent done a huge amount of model making. Couldnt find a really good set of coachbuilders plans for a lightweight but did find a reasonable though not great 88 inch chassis drawing and very poor quality side elevation and plan view of bodywork. Matched these two up,searched online for a suitable pair of wheels and matched those in and it works out that the scale is 1:7.7 odd but fine by me. My eyesight is not what it was so big is good!!! Many things on this, are guestimates from 100's of phots of lightweights so I am judging best I can from those. Not in the strictest sense for the purist, a fine scale model!! Well under way now with the landy, built the chassis(plywood) Made up vac form patterns for the bulkhead, the front and rear floors and the front valence, these are now complete apart from a little fettling. Started on the front wings and I decided that for the majority of the bodywork I'd go aluminium. One front wing complete. Leaf springs done, 2 attached so far. Like to share it get some feedback and advice if only I could figure out how to post images?
