Soon to start the old Tamiya Land Rover with some extra goodies.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/6/9/4/1470694-31078-52-720.jpg)
Started on the frame. The work is pretty straight forward and fit is good. The spare tyre holder is upgraded..
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/6/9/5/1470695-31078-16-720.jpg)
The AM wheels are a big disapointment. The original Tamiya wheels are better detailed.

Plastic, resin and bling
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/3/5/5/1471355-31078-56-720.jpg)
So far everyting fits very nice.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/3/5/6/1471356-31078-63-720.jpg)
The truck bed is not yet glued to the frame.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/0/6/0/1472060-31078-16-720.jpg)
Fiddly work on the stowage.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/0/6/1/1472061-31078-72-720.jpg)
I soldered the bar at the back of the truck bed. Not very difficult, but it took a couple of tries.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/6/9/3/1472693-31078-35-720.jpg)
More resin and bling.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/6/9/4/1472694-31078-29-720.jpg)
I have to admit the smoke launchers were extremly fiddly to put together.

She looks good with a golden mouth
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/0/6/9/1473069-31078-22-720.jpg)
Starting to look like a Landrover
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/7/5/5/1473755-31078-39-720.jpg)
Some more «bling» at the dasboard
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/4/2/0/1474420-31078-94-720.jpg)
I have realised that this will take some time. I corrected the dash board for a few mistakes, added some resin and PE details and made return springs for the clutch and brake pedal. Also well underway with a heavily modified rear GPMG.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/1/6/8/1475168-31078-89-720.jpg)
Finished the machine guns.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/1/6/9/1475169-31078-51-720.jpg)
Only ammo belte missing
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/0/6/1475806-31078-79-720.jpg)
Some Black primer
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/0/7/1475807-31078-66-720.jpg)
Still a long way to go
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/1/5/2/1476152-31078-13-720.jpg)
The pink color is back
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/9/6/1499596-31078-40-720.jpg)
The Charlie G is from Black Dog
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/5/9/7/1499597-31078-85-720.jpg)
Got some work done on the SAS Pinkie
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/5/9/8/1499598-31078-41-720.jpg)
Lots of work left
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/5/9/9/1499599-31078-41-pristine.jpg)
M-72 from Dragon
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/4/8/2/1580482-31078-41-720.jpg)
Finally the Landy is back on the bench. A lot of small bits and pieces ready for paint
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/0/3/1584503-31078-32-720.jpg)
Starting to mock up the vehicle. Never mind the paint job it is still at a very early stage.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/5/7/5/1597575-31078-50-720.jpg)
Still a lot to do with regards to painting
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/5/7/6/1597576-31078-97-720.jpg)
Lot of stowage added
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/5/7/7/1597577-31078-96-720.jpg)
Still room for some more weapons.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/9/1/1/1603911-31078-89-720.jpg)
Started a base for the Landy
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/1/5/1/1607151-31078-16-720.jpg)
Slowly getting there
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/1/5/2/1607152-31078-18-720.jpg)
…but still a lot of painting to be done.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/9/8/6/1607986-31078-87-720.jpg)
Been working a bit with the base. After a couple of hours it looks like this.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/5/5/0/1616550-31078-10-720.jpg)
Slowly getting there. Still some detail painting to do
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/5/5/1/1616551-31078-31-720.jpg)
And some more work to the base as well.
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/0/3/7/1621037-31078-39-720.jpg)
Finished!

Stay away from the aftermarked wheels I have listes in this project. They are not worth the money. The original Tamiya wheels are much better detailed.

Eric I cannibalised the Italeri kit for the suspension and steering and it fitted perfectly to my Tamiya ambulance.

Watching with interest, Erik. Liking the chains on the smoke launcher caps 👍
