Land Rover Series 1 Pickup

[Robomog]

Hi all.

Firstly I've bitten the bullet and paid for web hosting because of the Imgur stupidity, so hopefully everybody can now see my posts. I will try and update my previous posts over time if this works.

But now on with the post ...........

Those that look at my builds will know that I usually finish with a couple of shots with a yellow Land Rover.

To this end I brought the 1/43 Airfix series one Land Rover Starter kit to pose with the recently completed Bristol Boxkite.

But it was not to be,  the difference between 1/43 and 1/48 was more marked than than I thought  in that a figure set against a Land Rover should be level or looking over with the roof, but a 1/48 figure is looking up at the roof so it wasn't going to work.

So a hasty re-evaluation and out popped this a mild whif ...






















This is a great starter kit that went together very well, the only fly in the ointment was the enclose paints.

I have now purchased a Tamiya Austin 'Tilly'  to be my "Yellow Land Rover " watch this space on that one.

As always, all comments and criticisms gratefully received.

The picture hosting is working, it shows a very nicely finished and very yellow Landy

Well done, where's the exhaust pipe?

Come out well mate

There wasn't one, apparently because this is a beginners kit and the fact that at scale it would be very flimsy Airfix took the decision not to include it.

As I was building this to a tight deadline in opted  not to  try and reproduce it.

There was no gear leaver or drive shift leavers either.
