I would really like to try the conversions if only I could afford it. Someday, I'd like to try out one of the Rovers. Angry [:(!]

The Aoshima kit is IM and of Tamiya quality with Satco tyres (Tires).
By the way the USSNew Jersey's Broadside was like the weight if 9 fully loaded rovers..
If you include 5in guns then add another 4 or 5 rovers...
Did Land Rover's have Lucas (THE GOD OF DARKNESS) wire harnesses??
If so then God bless the driver at night..

Airfix do a land rover.A pretty old kit but still seviceable. Tamiya do a land rover ambulance kit with crew. I remember a japanese kit of a range rover out there somewhere. Nothing to do with your question but did you know that someone worked out that a full broadside from HMS Victory was equal to a fully loaded land rover!

There is a British magazine called something like, Land Rover Owner.
I've read a couple in the past & they did have a model feature page. It could be worth trying to find them on the net & seeing if you can get a copy.

Aoshima did a real nice ( Rover..1995) I don't know if it's still avail.. It was done to 1/24 scale and was a curbside much like the Fujimi kits..
I have one in my collection..

Sorry, but I don't think so. I don't know of any companies making land rovers in injection moulded plastic. Someone else might know of something.
Try the ScaleAutoMag.com forums, as people there might have a better idea.
