Revell 1/24 Landrover Series 3

[Nicko]

Wasn't sure whether to put this in with cars or trucks, but here she is, what will be my last completed build this year. Its been about two years in the making after spending a long time waiting for me to get on with painting it. The usual Revell mix of simplicity and with a few good bits. There are loads of options which is just as well because I managed to lose a complete row of seats probably during transport down the garden to my workshop spray area. Never found them, but luckily there's an alternative set in the box.

Main colour is a Zero paints Landrover Bronze Green with a Vallejo ivory colour on the roof. The interior was done with Vallejo and the odd enamel colour on the details. I was somewhat underwhelmed after final assembly - to me the body seems too high above the wheels, or the wheels are slightly undersize perhaps. Anyway, enough waffling, here are the pics......

Agree on the wheels but the colour is spot on! Think the vehicle dimensions are skewed visually due to the wheels but, otherwise, a nice clean representation!

Nothing like a good landy looks like I may have to get one myself
Excellent work.

Ive done this one, nice little kit although yeah the body does sit a little high but youve done a lovely job. :thumb2:

Superb finish, especially the excellent paintwork. Really looks the part. To me, I don’t think the wheels are too small, rather that the body sits too high. Gives it the aspect of being completely unloaded and needing some weight.

Call me odd if you like but I do like a Landy.
Looks great does that Nick.

Or you have a Land Rover with a lift kit! lol.
I have heard that new restored ones do sit a bit higher, as the springs and shocks are still new and firm and not all squashed down.
