Do all Italeri/ Testors 1/35 Landrover kits come with military style bumpers, etc?
I've seen the kit released under two different numbers.
Thanks in advance.

I assuem you're thinking of the standard Italeri/Revell Series 3 so the answer to that is
Yes....but...
In many respects it is a civilian Series 3 as it has features such as the fuel filler on the rear body and short spring shackles - military 109"s rode bit higher as they had longer shackles and had fuel fillers under the seats.
There is an intermediate version referred to as "CL" which was a standard civilian 109 taken into military service and (usually) painted green and black - this might be the easiest verion to model with this kit

Thanks!
I'm planning on building the Testors kit (Landrover 109), as a dutch army Landrover during the early 1990's.
I have some refs, but didn't know about the civilian/ military mix up of the kit.

I don't know exactly how much the Dutch version differed from the UK military version- from memory I think they were diesel powered, and that probably doesn't make any difference to the model unless your are really getting into superdetailing..
