Just a bump to keep interest alive (in case Hobbyboss is watching!) and to let you know about a seller on ebay with a load of converted Landys. I might have to have a bid on one or two as they look really good.

Personally I'd love to see a 1-tonne soft-top like the one I learnt to drive in back in '78, a SWB soft-top FFR like the one I spent many a happy month driving in BAOR in '80/'81 and a 109 soft-top.
And I can't wait to build the white hardtop 110 that I drove for 6 months for the UN.

Add my vote too,
Andre

A non-Wolf 110 hardtop would be nice, I can build my det from Iraq.

Having said that, if they bring out soft top Wolf 90/110, I could build the trucks our Squadron were driving round Basra in

Either/or's good

I agree £20 and a British WMIK

For those of you wanting to build a WMIK,here are some photo's I took last year while on my Annual Camp.

Swynnerton?

Fremington outside Barnstaple.Only downer on it was the local pub had closed down!

Wish I had found this forum earlier. Like most of you, I have been begging for some injected plastic 1/35 Land Rovers for years. At the IPMS-USA convention in Virginia Beach in 2002 (quite a ways back!), I asked the Academy rep if they might consider a series of Land Rovers to go with their series of M151 MUTTs being released at the time--he looked at me like I had something hanging out of my nose, gave me a frown and just shook his head "no". Maybe it was because Land Rovers are not popular here in the states? To make a long story short, I am delighted that a mainstream company has seen fit to address this long neglected vehicle. If subjects like "what-if" German armor of 1946 can be made, why can't a vehicle that has been around for 60 years and in so many variations receive attention? I have purchased at least 14 Accurate Armour landies of different types (no, I'm not married, if you want to know how I could get away with that!), and I still hope to build them all some day as they are beautiful and very detailed kits. It will be great to be able to get in a few "quick builds" once in a while to build up my confidence! Thanks to all of you for making yourselves heard--appears as if someone actually listened! Just hope the licensing problems do not slow things down--I understand Land Rover is strict about this kind of thing.

Here's my vote too!
Since I don't want to spend 60 euros for one of the several Defender versions from Historica Productions, a plastic kit at a reasonable price is a GREAT news.
My favourite is the Aussie 6X6.....special forces variants from other Armies are also welcome.

My fingers are crossed

i have found it very hard to believe that there has'nt already been a 1/35 landy (plastic) kit made, as im sure they would be one of the fastest selling models out there, im sure or i hape once one company produces a landy the others will follow suit......Id love to see a WMIK fully kitted out with a crew of 3, id gladly pay £20-25 GBP for the pleasure of such a thing........oh and a modern british 1/35 troop set,, but that im sure is for another de-ate

Someone want to tell me what's actually going on? So far i've published TWO News reports - with loads of images, of the first Hobby Boss LR in-progress...

So, before people continue requesting an item which is soon going to be produced, check out these:

Hi all

I have been building 1:43 scale model land rovers for the past 7 years mainly from Mountford minatures. I am a keen builder of vehicles associated with the Northern ireland era. I commissioned a "Snatch" landrover in 2007 from mounford and it was impressive. I have recently started converting diecast land rovers again connected to the NI era but also Iraq and Afghanistan ( visit flickr) search for Mal2597 to see some of the models i have produced.

At the beginning of this month i became the new owner and sole producer/supplier of all NI models previously produced by mountford.

over the next few months i will be producing 3/4 new resin/white metal models including the RUC hotspur BA VPK Lieghtweight

please visit my site and let me know what you all think and any ideas would be appreciated

regards

Mal

Sorry, but why 1/43 scale? Seems strange to me...but maybe that's just me...

It's a common model car scale Sean.

Hi sean

Well not really mate, 1:35 scale is obviously greater detail but there are limits say for Transit vans ordinary raod cars that for example are in use by police forces. I Have built AA models in the past for example the humber Pig and i recently was asked to build the RUC Hotspur which i have recieved and to be honest the detail is great but alot of work needed to build, either i have got poor quilaty models or they are very hard to get to match up.

the 1:43 scale i use because for example the Afghan land rover WMIK i get great enjoyment in making the model and the detail that has to go into it i make my own military kit etc so thats part of the fun

and to be honest they are reasonably priced

My next favorite vehicle is the landy. Built the old Monogram landy many years ago.
