GLMFAA1 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Has anyone built or attempted to upgrade the Revell kit into a Defender? Would the Welly die cast be a base to work off of? greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 While looking at the two side by side there doesn't seem to be too much difference between the two, but apart from the extended wheelbase 110 instead of 109, wider track,which is the reason for the wheel arch extensions, the suspension was upgraded to coil springs and the 4x4 was permanent like the Range Rover, and the old 6 cylinder wheezy overhead inlet side exhaust was put out to pasture, only 4 cylinder petrol and diesel and of course the 3.5 litre V8 petrol engine was available in the 110, there a few other cosmetic things that would need to be addressed, one piece front windshield, actual wind up side Windows, being just two, I'm not saying it's not possible, but would be a lot of work.

Not that I'm aware of, South Eastern Finecast used to produce one in 1:24th scale in white metal, I'm not sure if they still do though.
