Just because your all my brothers in plastic, I wish to put name on the list just so we can add another kit to our collection of "to be built".

Have wanted to do a modern SAS Land Rover, but think Accurate armors is to expensive, so a injection molded kit would be welcome, so but me up as well.

OK in that case .....add my name to the list.
I'm not a big into modern subjects but Land Rovers are such cool vehicles it's a shame that there are no affordable plastic alternatives out there.
As for the copyright issue...the manufacturer could do what Tamiya did and just give the kit a generic name like they did with the "German 3 ton 4x2 cargo truck" (instead of Opel Blitz) or like Dragon did with the road wheels for their Tiger I initial production. They put CONTINENTAU instead of Continental. They could call it a Land River instead of Land Rover...see problem solved!

Great news Gaoyue, but you can't just tease us like that!

Can you provide any more detail: what version(s) and when will it be available?
Thanks,
Sean

Any Australian Perentie 110 in GS, FFR, SRV, RFSV or 6x6 LRPV, IIMV or a Parakeet would be more than welcome.
Having spent the majority of my military service bouncing around in Land Rovers, I'd love to build the entire family.
I'd even go for a 130 Sallyman.
And a GS trailer too please Santa...

Hell yes!
Any Landy, any variant, any era!
And as we all know they've been crammed to the udders with all manner of kit over the years I'd be willing to spend a few extra dollars for an assortment of goodies to augment said kit (spare tires, stowage, tarps etc..). I know if the kits come the AM stuff will follow, but being an a amateur and a budget builder the stock kit extras and what I rely on 99% of the time to fill out my models.
Come on executive suit types, help us out!

I was hoping for the old 109 series to make some technicals and Lebanese gun trucks back in the civil war.. but I'm still happy with the ones mentioned here.
Maybe Italeri or Revell could re-release their old Landrover!
Trumpeter and Hobbyboss just keep on making my day!

No, the ones on the Hobbyboss site have either been recently released, like the Sdkfz 222... or will be released soon. But they don't put anything about kits still under development.
I don't expect we'll be seeing these Landrovers before 2011.
