Hi guys,
sorry for the quality (and the obvious shortcomings of the pic as it's taken from the rear!!) of this Russian Jeep :

I don't think it should yet be that difficult because I know it's supposed to be a standard Jeep from the 60's but any guess of the exact type?
Would you also know If any kit exists?
Thanks for any help
JB

Can't help, sorry.

But hmm... is this the basis for another of your dioramas?

Chas

jba,
Your "jeep" is actually a common old Series II Land Rover, as can be seen from the badge on the left rear.
Roadcraft (UK) do a multi-media kit of the Landie Series I (1/35th), I do have an address but can't find at this present time, I'll pass it on to you when tracked down, or you could do a cut'n'shut on the old Tamiya Landrover Ambulance.
HTH

Thanks Casper, a *land rover*?! This movie was shot in 1978 in Communist Lithuania!! How did they find a Land Rover for the movie? but then I knew I had seen the shape somewhere before
Thanks a million anyway
Chas, my current ship build is SO difficult and demanding that I think of taking another breather (Galilée was a breather actually).
And what a greater breather than superdetailing/building/scratching a "Russian" Jeep?

This is from the movie Stalker isn't it?
I always wandered how they got the LandRover as well.
BTW, great recent work.

Just to make it obvious...

Yep Dmitry, it's from Stalker, the main reason why I find it hard *not* to model Russian
Now I was always surprised that there was a Thompson PM in the movie too. I suppose it's Tarkovski's way of de-communism his movie
Thanks for your comments anyway..
..and thanks Ales for finding this better screenshot! i really thought it was a Russian jeep!

Italeri used to make a landrover in 1/35 which would be closer than the Tamiya kit. OOP but sometimes seen on Ebay.

thanks Pat -wasn't it the pink panther one? i have such a souvenir from 80's catalogues..

No this is the one I mean

Thanks Pat! i will seriously consider buying a kit for the first time in 15 years
