traditional Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) This 1/18 model is one of the best quality diecast models I’ve seen in both fidelity of detail as well as fit and finish. It is a promotional model of the now discontinued Land Rover Defender 110 and there may be some affiliation by ALMOST REAL with Minichamps and Kyosho because the parent company (Sums Model Toys Company Ltd) shows some connections to their web sites. All the appendages open on appropriate hinges and nothing has been done in a half-baked fashion. There are even four fold away steps under the doors. My brother (Larry) bought this one from China and as soon as it arrived, we figured it deserved a good photo essay. If anyone is considering purchasing one, be aware that there is also simplified edition that uses dogleg doors and omits some of the detail. it's less expensive, but also less detailed.To add further confusion there's also a shorter wheelbase Land Rover Defender (90) to choose from.
