That blue background looks like the one used by Gaoyue from Trumpeter or Hobbyboss.. so, I'm guessing these are by Hobbyboss?
Please keep the pics coming

it looks like that we can expect a new injection molded LaRo soon and that's great news.

I'm glad they are by Hobbyboss because most importantly, for me, their prices are very reasonable.
I was hoping they'd do an old 109 which can be made as a PLO or Somali technical.. but I'll still take a few of these modern ones
Thanks a lot for this great news

amazing!! ..this is truly a great month for "modern" modeling news!
..I'll be investing in a bunch of these and if they are indeed Hobbyboss I'm hoping they will be released in a good few different versions too

Never got a chance to drive the newer landrovers but would love one to build.
Nice one

I hope these are on par with the AA kits, and I don't mean the price.

Nope, that is a US Army Ranger Lanbdrover. To my knowledge, the USMC doesn't use any Rovers. Maybe they are working on a USMC Mercedes FAV? Or maybe they meant a Ranger Rover thinking it was a USMC vehicle? Time will tell.
The Landys look nice though. I'll be buying a few.

Actually before the cat was let out of the bag and it was known that it was Hobby Boss, I could have sworn those were Tamiya sprues.
But then I thought....no...if it was Tamiya, we would have it in 1/48, and then have to wait for them to upscale it to 1/35, never mind the fathom that Tamiya would give us something modern, and something new.
So are HB changing their sprue color? Or is this just the test shots, and the actual kit will be in their usual grey?
Either way, it will be very welcomed!!!
Thanks!

Hope not, you'll never be able to move it more than four foot from the box!

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

I don´t think it´s Hobby Boss. The colour of the plastic and the style of the sprue attachment points make me think it will come from Bronco.
