Hi Guys,
One of the projects I have most looked forward to in recent times has been the design and ‘master-making’ of our first two K&C Australian Military Land Rovers.
Well, a few days back, we finally received our the unpainted castings of these two iconic vehicles and our ‘master-painter’ got down to work painting them. Obviously I am biased but I think he did a great job!
So, here’s a closer look at what you can expect to see in a few months time.
As you can see the first vehicle to be released will be the ‘Military Police’ version complete with a seated MP driver. The canvas canopy will be fixed on permanently both as a safety measure and to protect the paintwork.
An add-on set of 2 x Aussie MP’s will be available when the vehicle is released.
Our second Land Rover is a ‘Patrol / General Service’ Quarter-Tonner and comes with no canvas cover and a regular army driver with his L1A1 Self Loading Rifle beside him.
Being a patrol vehicle both side doors and the rear hatch have been removed for ease of access and quick ‘debussing’.
An add-on set of 3 x seated Australian infantrymen will also be released at the same time as this vehicle.
Put them all together and you’ve got some exceptional additions to an exceptional series!
All the best lads and happy collecting...
Oh and by the way look out for a big new ‘VIETNAM’ diorama featuring both vehicles… coming soon!
