Agreed, this just keeps getting better. Anything British and L/R orientated gets my vote.

I use this but I only brush paint it after shaking well ..I brush in one coat if it doesn’t coat fully leave it until dry before another ..depending on what I’m looking for sometimes I wash after ..

Having had this sat for a while I decided I ought to get it sorted .house move and life got in the way ..The Land Rover needed a base so I set about a simple setting ..an M.O.D range ..and a chance to play with some static grass etc.

Being a pernickety bastard, is your Lannie (God, how I hate “Landy” - we always called them “Lannies” or mainly just, “Wagon”) in a matt green finish or shiny Bronze Green? Just asking and don’t wish to micro-manage/meddle I assure you. It’s a cracking little model in any case.

It’s shiny bronze green mate ..looking at pictures of the early trials vehicles they all appear to be shiny as opposed to the Matt /satin later time period of vehicles..the transition period of change was mid to late 1970s when bronze green was dropped in favour of Matt/satin green and the more traditional black green camo ….we always referred to our as wagon or Landy ….

No, sure; I asked as generally, for whatever reason, Brit modellers seem reluctant to ever portray models in Bronze Green, whereas it was a paint scheme that was around certainly in the 20s, up until 1971, when the matt green and black scheme came in (I grant that BAOR units had experimented with many different types of camouflage schemes in the period leading up to that). A shame, as shiny Bronze Green and aluminium paintwork was the norm for a very long time.
As for the missiles: drill rounds or in green? Just curious as this project has certainly grown on me!
Looking forward to the end result
