Help! I've recently purchased the Tamiya SAS Land Rover kit. Does anyone know of any other schemes besides desert pink?

If you want to build a European Vehicle, you will need to obtain a set of standard wheels as the Sand tyres would not be appropriate for that use.
Years ago when I built one I used the wheels from the Landrover Ambulance by Tamiya. It was re-issued a couple of years ago so they may well be laying about in Hobby Shops.

Hi Bob
You'll find some some pics of a Green/Black Panther (if I may say so ) Land-Rover HERE

Accurate Armour also makes a set of Rover tires that I believe would fit the bill. See:
