PGM316 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm going to get the twin pack, then me and other half can make one each. Do you think she'll enjoy that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I'm going to get the twin pack, then me and other half can make one each. Do you think she'll enjoy that Its a pity it couldnt be a surprise for her Birthday! My sons into Warhammer (if youve been before and seen the "characters" that attend and work there you will know what I mean), he asked me to build and paint a couple of the characters and I really enjoyed it. I think I know how fetish people must get a kick now, I was really proud of my work and wanted to show everyone but was hugely embarressed at the same time. I'm told I'm weird enough through liking Land Rovers and talking to my "sad mates" on the forum! I think I can get away with a snatch Land Rover though. G PS Ralph, maybe we could setup a "Vapour Build" thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd probably like it with her growing Land Rover interest We should post pictures of our finished models, see who does the best job!

CwazyWabbit Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Both the Land Rovers with Sankeys look like series vehicles to me .... http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/military-vehicles/military-transporters/a02322-lwb-landrover-soft-top-and-trailer-a02322/ http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/military-vehicles/military-transporters/a02324-lwb-landrover-hard-top-and-trailer-a02324/ .... but I could be wrong.

tuko Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 ahh.. Pity they can't spell Land Rover That's actually spelled correctly depending on the country of origin. For example, all Nordic Countries do spell Land Rover as one word. I think that Germany does to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelr32 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Don't forget the new release from Hobbyboss. They've just released a 1/35 scale 110 WMIK. It's a lovely kit, and is bigger than the 1/48 kits from airfix. It has a 300tdi fitted, and full chassis/suspension detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Twig Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was planning on getting one of these and modifying it to look like my vapour build 110 camper, which funds and lack of space are currently preventing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelr32 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The kit is available from all model shops currently. The retail is £17:99, so be careful of people trying to rip you off on flea bay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Interesting. So this is presumably done by Land Rover's marketing dept.? Do any other vehicle manufacturers do that? No it's not done by the marketing dept, it's the language that dictates how the words are written. When I was on the club committee for the Swedish "Land Rover" Club we had the same debate about how the words are written in club's title and in our clubs newsletter. Finally we decided not to follow as the language dictates but as written by the manufacturer. Looks smarter if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
