  1. White was only available for fleet vehicles, i.e police and other utilities, and wasn't available to the public, that changed after the V8 phase one and the later 110 Land Rovers.
  2. Wheels,Roof panel and rear side panels should be painted in limestone
  3. No problem, I only live 7 miles from the Land Rover factory, I have in the past made a few Land Rover and Range Rover models for R&D
  4. Roof panel was always Limestone
  5. Yes Tom, I planning on scratch building the needed parts
  6. I found out just after i started this one that the side panels are stamped like the van, then cut out to fit the Windows to make the Universal (Estate) they are in real life made of steel as they are part of the skeletal bodyshell
  7. The spares are needed for a deluxe saloon I'm building Shay, (Yes,Another Trabant)
  8. Can't believe it's been over there years this one has been sitting on the backburner, having a tidy and rearrange in the hobby room, found this one stored in various plastic tubs, tried a dry fit and things didn't want to go together,the ribbed floor I'd made was slightly too long, it needed about 3mm trimmed off it, then the side panels I'd scratch built needed sanding slightly so they could line up with the interior, but now everything fits just fine, just got to do a little airbrushing, engine,gearbox and front suspension and it was all go together permanently.
  9. The Revell one will definitely get released, there planning on the fourth quarter of this year, I've been privileged to see a few photos of the 3D model there working on, I'll be waiting for the Revell version, which hopefully I'll get a free copy to build for a review.
  10. So instead of giving up a Series 2 which had been shown in their catalogue since it was announced,we get a re-released version of the older Esci kit,with a few extra parts.
  11. Yes it does, UV torches are available cheaply on ebay,Amazon or Ali Express
  12. Pretty much the same stuff, but available in larger quantities and much cheaper direct from China
  13. My Renaissance resin order arrived from Spotmodel this morning
  14. Rear bumper finished, red lenses were fixed in place using 5 minute clear epoxy, back up lamps were fixed in place using UV resin.
  15. Body is in primer I'm hoping I'll get the time next week to get some paint on it, paint was supplied by MCW lacquer
  16. Cheers Shay, I'm not too happy with the seat belt decals, as they look way out of scale, but as it's a magazine article, and the kit was supplied by Revell, I had to use them.
  17. Unfortunately,I think it is, I'm fine when I've got plenty of work on, then I've either no time to go on the computer or I'm too tired.
  18. Wheels fitted
  19. Chassis and floor pan finished
  20. I've been working on and off this one between work, luckily I've had a couple of weeks free, so now I'm just waiting to get time to airbrush the bodyshell interior finished
  21. And then my plan fell through, I ordered another set of decals
  22. What do you do when you have too many decals for the Citroen H van?? order another Citroen H van of course...
