Has anybody built this junk? Sorry about the frustration [:(((]…but the pieces just don’t fit. I finished the chasis and the hinges of the doors, the walls of the cargo area don’t match, the the bottom of the cargo area doesn’t fit, the canvas roof seems to narrow…They don’t look deformed as exposed to heat or something like that, just poorly made. [:(((][:(((]
Anybody else had this experience? Maybe I should just stick with Tamiya and Dragon…End of complaining, thanks for listening [:)]
The 1/35th Revell of Germany Landrover is basicly the old late seventies early eighties Italeri/Testors kit and has always been hard to build. Among the short comings is the ill fitting canvas roof, solid instead of split sliding side windows and the badly molded doors. The thirty five plus year old tooling doesn’t help. Also the optional parts for the civilian version have disappeared. It can still be built as an exceptable model but it takes a lot of work, Evergreen Plastic, trimming and filler.
Yeah I built the Testors/Italeri release of it back in '84 or so. I don’t recall having fit problems. But I do remember that I did not care for the parts that were supposed to be mesh brush guards over the lights. And for some unfathomable reason my kit was left hand drive! Most un British! I still have it’s hulk somewhere awaiting rebuild…
I have this in the lets start this pile and hope its not that bad. I got this for 8 bucks so …
I’m not that good but with cheap models no issue if it blows up but i wanna ask this question; i would like to do this as a danish version and know they mostley had two color but unable to locate actual color. Since NATO did they use the 3 color or did they use their own color?
