Little progress. The interior is almost done now, add seats, steering wheel, and the side rails on the back.

I was thinking... Instead make the stock Santana, like the one in the picture above, that it is pretty ugly, to make the one in the picture below, with a 106 mm rifle... :)

Here a test fit between body and chassis, and I reshaped the front grille, adding the grille.

I sand paper the tires for removing the mold sings, and the result was a slick tire...:( So I decided to engrave all the tread.

on the right the tire after sand paper, and left the one with tread.

One tire done... 4 more to go!!! :D

Here the body...

And here the engine, that is smaller than a lady bug! :D

1/72 Land Rover - Santana...

Posted by Brizio on Monday, January 21, 2013 12:00 PM

I had this kit from quite a while, I received it so without instructions, and after searching a little bit I think it came out from a old Airfix "Bristol Bloodhound", the kit has also a missile on a trailer, but I have only the Land Rover.

I like only Jeep, so I will not build this as land Rover, but I will build the Spanish made one, called Santana Ligero 88. That was made in Spain from Santana Motors.

Here the kit...
