Since I don't plan to spend a fortune on a resin Land Rover, and since the only good plastic ones are from the 1990's and later, I did think of another unit from the late 1960's/early 1970's: Takom's Mk II Chieftain tank.

I can assume the kit is period and would be painted in Deep Bronze Green? And would be great at crushing space aliens?

Depends on what episode you saw it in. Peter Capaldi had one in a recent episode, which might have been a Mark 11. Medium Green and black was the scheme used during its career. Bronze green was dropped in the late sixties, as I recall.

Actually I'm not recreating a specific episode. The idea was to show what might be around when the third or fourth Doctor was exiled on Earth with UNIT.

The one in the clip with Peter Capaldi is a very late vehicle, probably a Mk 11, but I won't swear to it, and the cammo on this preserved item looks to be a vague pale olive, not a standard color. If you want to do a Chieftain suitable for Tom Baker's era, do a Mk 5, and paint it green and black.

Except by the time Tom Baker was the Doctor, he was already freed of the Time Lords' exile and was in fact severing his connections with UNIT. That's why I wanted to do something from the Pertwee era.
