Land Rover's, Cent's and a Pink Panther!

[Leon]

As mentioned elsewhere, mart678 has been busy working on another load of vehicles, which arrived with us here earlier this week.  This lot contains several LWB Land Rover variations, along with the Pink Panther variation which was requested a while ago.  As well as those, we've also got everything needed to put together Centurions from MkIII right through to Mk thirteen!

Also in this lot is a cracking traction engine, which I didn't dare put together for photo'ing as there are so many bits!  So, I've included one of Mart's pics instead!

LWB Land Rover - Open / Soft top / Hard top / Ambulance:



Centurion:



Pink Panther:



Traction Engine:




And finally, here's one of Mart's pics of the Centurion, with some teasers hiding in the background... Can anyone tell what they are?



Hope you like them!

The Centurion looks really good .

I cab see a T-55ish type Russian tank, an inter-war armoured car, a WWII Russian light tank (BT series) and possibly a Carden-Lloyd tankette? Maybe wishfull thinking on the last one!

Lancia 3RO + 90mm, M11/39, T-55, Austin-Putilov or -Garford armoured car for Russian Civil War, can't tell rest

Modular Centurion - excellent, even Ian Shaw will be happy! it looks the bizz actually. Having seen all the various 6mm Centurions, I think it is actually a hard tank to get right as a master.

Others may be Humber Light Recce Mk.III, possibly Archer, and a fully tracked tractor a la Stalinets but towing a trailer, Cletrac or something like that.

[HPFlashman]

ohh, much luveliness going on here...

BT light tank should have read T-60/70 .

Loved the traction engine - perfect for Boer War

Thought Leon had stamped on traction engine. Needs 3-4 wagons as well, and an armour kit.

I see the top Centurion has the rare L-zero gun. 

Great work, Martin. Any more like that and I shall be seriously tempted.

The Cent looks a seriously good model. It looks heavy and threatening. 

Cheers Rob

Pink Panther again looks seriously good.

Will the extra kit such as cam-net, bergens and other bits and bobs be moulded as part of the vehicle or will they be separate? These items are very useful for individualising all models so it would be useful to have them available also as a separate item.

Will the finished model have GPMGs?


Cheers, Rob

A point on the LWB landies.

They all have boxes on the front wings. These boxes are for FFR landies (fitted for radio) only. That is they are command vehicles.
If moulded separately to fix to the model that would be great, but if moulded as part of the model then not so great. The ambulance body model (bottom one) would never have them.


Cheers, Rob

Ok I shall answer a couple of the questions
1 the Lwb have the radio boxes fitted as it is easyier to remove them than glue them on! it will only take 2 minutes to remove but 10 to glue the little buggers on
2 the pink panther has 2 x gpmg's and a standing gunner to fit him you will need to remove part of the gpmg stock!
3 Humber recce,a holts tractor for ww1 and a BA10 there are also a couple of Italian WW2 vehicles on my list and 2 are in the picture
4 the stowage on the pink panther is moulded but I will make up a stowage kit if enough people say they want it I will make for leon and dave as a 21st Birthday present
but only if 30 different forum members say they want a vehicle stowage pack(generic)
Any more questions please allow a delay for the reply
