143 Land Rover 1 tonne Body Variations

Description

Like the original Land Rover, the 1 tonnes became the basis for many military variations. I would normally make conversions, to transform existing model kits – as I have with the Land Rover Series – however, due to the lack of current 1 tonne kits I’ve designed the whole thing.

I’ve decided to go the Mr Potato Head route, choose what body , roof and accessory to add to the basic chassis.

There are different sizes of roofs in 3 types, plain, ribbed and short cab ribbed. These will fit the various backs including: cab, extended cab, crew cab, full length.

The cargo/pick-up comes with framework for soft top.

So far some of the possible representations are: Ambulance, Cargo, Repair, recovery, Javelin repair, Vampire.

Repair comes with a soft top frame and crane.

Recovery comes with a soft top frame and towing jib.

The basic chassis including: front, steering wheel, wheels and mirrors, is listed separately, it will be needed in the right scale to add your choices to it.

I like Uhu glue for assembly. Dennis prefers plastic weld.
