discussion Help finding a kit.

Hello


I think this is the right section?


I've got a daft idea about wanting to make a nice little semi diorama, with a bit of grass and a tree and a bit of dry stone walling. Basically I'm wanting to build up a mini slice of the Yorkshire Dales, which I love spending time in.


Problem is, that lovely mainstay of the Dales, the ubiquous Series Land Rover, is a little hard to find without having guns and soldiers and such glued to it.


So, does anyone know of a series 1,2 or 2A (Preferably a 90, ideally a 90 pickup) in 1/24?


No-one seems to do a civvy version, which I find odd given how popular and iconic a car they are.


Thanks for reading

Italeri do one, number 3697 IIRC, but they are hard to get hold of.

It was the Italieri one that I had seen in 1/35th, it was a military 110 pickup but I believe the soft-top bit was optional and it came with less 'army' bits as it were.


I do wonder if I could perhaps cut it down to represent a 90 pickup, and scratch build a nicer better canvas back.


Sadly it be the only way I can do this build. I'll have a look into it when I get closer to thinking about it.


Thanks for the help
