JonnyMimn Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Hi All, First post here, former 1/2 ton owner, currently building a scale model of the US Rangers SOV 110 Defender & I'm struggling with the crew seats behind the driver & truck commander - has anyone got any photo evidence or can point me towards any references which show that these seats exist? Advice on books to refer to, magazine articles, online resources would all be appreciated. I think I have tried most of the online stuff available which stands as being inconclusive, so out to the military LR experts to point me in the right direction.

western Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 from wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_Special_Operations_Vehicle Can't see any other photo's showing rear seats, but lots of photo's on google which you've most likely looked at.

JonnyMimn Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Thanks Westernthe Wiki page always comes up in searches and as you can see there is not a crew seat behind the driver. I've found one short video clip which would seem to show a crew seat behing the truck commander which faces outwards & not forwards, but little else to work off. Tempted to find out who built the RSOVs and e-mail them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Is that a WMIK by another name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 no different all together. not based on the XD/Wolf UK variant chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Interesting that the anti tank weapon in the foreground looks a lot like a Carl Gustav 84mm. http://car-from-uk.com/ebay/carphotos/full/ebay918200.jpg http://www.warwheels.net/images/LandyDefenderRSOVdemoyoung (8).JPG If you type rsov images in www.duckduckgo.com it brings up lots of images.

Different, but the roll hoop / weapon mount looks awful similar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Similar, but not as robust as the WMIK: http://www.dunsfoldcollection.co.uk/collection/military/a-e-wimik-lhd-demonstrator#v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
