Italeri 1/35 Landrover 109


Builder

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

This is my entry into this GB. I started work on this last week, and was not able to post pictures till now.

 

I will be building the Italeri 1/35 Landrover 109. This is probably as British as it gets, the Land Rover is symbolic with Britain and proudly states "Made in England". 

 

Build Plan

I will build this into a civilian version, with my own custom paint job. As there are so many variations of this vehicle, I think a customized landrover is not a very far fetched idea. The kit will be built OOB.

 

Kit Detail (from www.scalmates.com)

 

Title: Land Rover 109' LWB Australian Forces Insignias
Number: 6508
Scale: 1:35
Type: Full kit
Includes: Plastic sprues, Waterslide decals, Clear parts
Released: 2013 | Rebox - Kit seems to be based on Italeri Kit 321 released in the 1990's

Some marks on the side door needed to be fixed, so these are being filled in using Tamiya Basic putty.

As always all comments welcome.

Here is the next and final build update. This kit was finished quickly. I might have rushed it a tad, as I did damage the doors a bit. It looks like the doors were dented.

 

Here are the updates

 

Tyres painted using Tamiya XF 85 Rubber Black Enamel
