Italeri BJ44 Land Cruiser
Posted by PatW on Thursday, May 23, 2024 4:10 PM

Whilst various glued parts of the greenhouse are drying, I've started the Italeri BJ44 Land Cruiser.

 

Painting and test fitting both tops..

Painting the 'hardtop' gloss black..

And starting on the chassis..

Yes Jim, I've picked up various images of this one, lots are jacked up with huge tyres and lots of offroad kit! Which I don't have available to me after packing up to move and that it fell through!

Thanks Tanker-Builder. I may make just a soft top enclosing the rear of the car. No rear windows that is.

OR just put slab plsticard on the sides and back!

 It'sa classic! Now I would paint mine light tan. Put some mud on the tires and have an Elephant or Giraffe standing next to it!

Hey, Pat!

       I changed my mind. How about a lion on the roof?
