Land Rover WMIK with Milan ATGM.

First parts being prepared. 

Chassis in progress, and the engine coming together. Bodywork started too, enough to allow painting to start. 

Everything fitting nicely, with lots of fine details. 

The radiator will cover the fan, so last view... 

Painting of the items added to the chassis to be progressed next. 

Progressing the front wings and seats, etc. 

Checking how it all fits, and some pre-shading on the wings. 

Lots of small parts painted, mostly for the dash board  

Having had problems with the decal for the gauges, I had to settle for some tiny white marks. Hope it looks okay? 

More progress... 

Mocking up the roll cage and weapons mounting. 

Coming together, but more painting first.... 

Bodywork and framing painted, and other general progress. GPMG and it's mount to be done next. 

PE grill added. 

Wires added, for fuel lines. 

Large pipe added, perhaps for an air intake? It will be completely hidden once the wing has been installed, but we all know how important these hidden details are 😉 

Rocket launcher complete, with front lens added. 

Mounting post for GPMG added, and MG painted too. 

Driver's seat added, with it's frame. Strangely, I can't find where the second frame has disappeared too! Passenger seat therefore not glued in for the moment... Side panel added, but wing mirrors still to be done. 

Tools painted (I do like a realistic, well-used shovel...). A scratch-built fire extinguisher being made and painted, to be mounted between the front seats, on the bulkhead where the tyre lever and jack handle are moulded (also painted, but partly hidden by the seats). 

So, still to be done: add all the light lens, front and rear; add frame and install the three last braces: install the wing mirrors; mount the front wings and paint the radiator grill; install the sand channel with PE straps; bend, paint and install PE headlight guards. Oh, and make up 12 ammo boxes, paint and store in rear bin, and install the rear bin. Oh, and find that missing seat frame! Grrr! 

Some spare PE used to make a bracket, fixed to the bulkhead. 

Fire extinguisher finished, including pressure gauge with tiny needle from an eye lash 😉 

Extinguisher fitted in the bracket. 

Lots of ammunition boxed still to be assembled, ang wing mirrors to be added (last of all). 

GPMG details painted, and the frames installed finally. 

Front wings added too, and bonnet just loose fitted. Everything fits really well on this kit 🙂 A few untidy paint splashes to be removed..... 

Starting to look like the end is in sight. 

Rear storage bin will be added after the clear parts for lights have been fitted. 

Front lights still to be added too, and radiator to be painted too. 

The rear surfaces of the clear parts were painted, then installed with white glue. First coats on the grill, etc. 

Rear lights and storage bin added, with a little assistance 😉 

They're impatient to get going, even though the wing mirrors have still to be installed! 

One mistake I should have avoided...there is too little room for a driver to be seated. I should have left the steering wheel as a loose fit. Ach jo.... 

Team photo, everyone! 

Milan munition's box painted up, with details picked out. Rifles also now painted.  

Ready to load up, but some tea would be welcome first 😉 

Mirrors added, kit loaded, and reflectors painted on each side of the rear basket.
