bootneck Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I am currently building a couple of 1:35 Land Rover kits as airfield ground support types. It would be nice if I could put one onto a base alongside an aircraft. Anyone know if there's anything out there? cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 In 1/32 the Revell Hawker Hunters come mind. Also the Hawks. There are allegedly 1/32 Lightnings if you can thole their shapes. Plus the old but accurate Echelon vac model if you are feeling rich Infinitis new Vampires and the HK Meteor. Revell/Matchbox Sea Venom and Venom nightfighter Tigger Models do a Chipmunk vac and a Jet Provost PS. How could I forget the Harrier and the GR1 re-release 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 What might have been In 2014 Heritage were thinking of a Folland Gnat and a few years back Paul Fisher was being tempted by thoughts of a 1/32 Gloster Javelin. I’d have been up for that Cant think of anything else current off the shelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 1/32 Fly Wessex plus of course all the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight aircraft at a push ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix673 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Here is my 1/32 Trumpeter F2a Lightning (much modified!!) alongside a kids toy Land Rover that I painted up. I do know that this type of Land Rover wasn't in production as the same time as the Lightning but it does add scale? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Roberts Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 A 1/32 Vampire has just been released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 As mentioned the 2 renditions of the Tornado (Revell & Italieri) plus the Revell ADV. Tamiya Phantom F-4J(UK) of 74 Sqn. Trumpeter Harrier GR7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks all, I didn't realise that an RAF Phantom had been produced in this scale. Is there an RN version in 1:32? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 There was a Wild Hare conversion kit for the Tamiya F-4J to make it an FG.1 or FGR.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 That's interesting, anyone know any more about that? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempestfan Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If you're feeling adventurous, you could dress up the ancient Revell F-4J as a J(UK), with lots of work. The Phantom referred to above is not an RAF Phantom in the sense of a Spey one, but from the two handful of stopgap Js for 74 Sq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Mike if going down the F-4J ex USN from storage used by 74 Sqn as a stop gap till Tornado F3 arrives then Yellowhammer Decals did all the aircraft markings and series for such a beastie. Tricky to find them these days I think Sadly no Spey engined UK birds other than cutting and slashing a US bird. Not an easy conversion at all but some brilliant ones done on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Very rare and not that well received though I don’t know the merits either way. If one come up it easily sells north of several hundred pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Mike, You can make a passable early Harrier from the old Revell kit. I did one here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235101810-132-harrier-gr1/ David 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Iconicair did resin kits of the Attacker and Spiteful in 1/32. I've got the Seafang and it's a nice kit. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very limited edition, very expensive even on initial release, just gone up. I have seen a couple on eBay, and you could have bought a clapped out Landy for the same sale price! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 IFA are producing early Harriers which should be available this year. Cheaper than a Wild Hare F-4 and very nice going by the prototypes I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thanks all, I have sourced a Revell 1:32 Hawker Hunter and that should fit in well woth my Land Rovers.
