I sent Gaoyue a message and he said that he was indeed working with Hobbyboss on these Landrovers and that they are still testing and improving parts.
I just hope their release date isn't too far away.
Anyway, we'll see what Jim will post next week.

I find that as ill-informed as it is insulting . FYI, we've been the ONLY English-speaking site to have a direct line to HB & Trumpeter. That means, we're the first to get images and News.
Clear enough?

Would love to see a plain old Land Rover Wolf 110, I can build my own detachment

lets also hope for a decent set of tyres to go with it.
plenty of scope by the looks of things even for the terminaly piccy people.

What may be reassuring is that a friend of mine is currently working on HB's Sd.Kfz 222 and, according to him (and he's a very demanding character
) it's one of the best and most accurate models on the market. HB seems to be developing some REAL style at the moment..

Thanks for that.
Uh, didn't realise I'd trodden on sensitive toes.
Guess I'll disappear back down my burrow for another year or so then.

It's 100% Wolf, the lashing points, air intake boxes are a dead givaway. I've been driving all versions for years now.
Now to which version they plan to release would be unlimited, the bog standard GS soft top and hard top would great as these can both be utilised in various roles, but looking at the photos,,, on the left side of the rear load bed are two squares these are only found on the WMIK vehicles to keep ammo boxes in place. I look forward to the next picture releases.

What happened to the "all singing, all dancing photo report" Jim promised us "next week"? That "next week" is over and we ain't heard no singing nor seen no dancing
Come on, Jim... don't make us suffer more

I'm already planning on buying, building and converting. Good on Hobbyboss for taking on a subject that modellers have clearly been waiting for. I'm sure it will prove to be a profitable decision!

I hope there will be at least the possibility to convert to Dutch Marines. Better yet, just issue a Dutch Marines version. With figures - that would be unique.

Fingers crossed!
