Fred Dibnah Land Rover, the Green one...

[Brizio]

Few days ago I finish this one. I uses the Revell kit, this time of the 2 door Land Rover the "commercial" one. I went with this kit because on the photos the engine appeared to be a 4 cyl turbo diesel. In reality was not. Was a mish mash of parts on a 6 cyl. I even contacted Revell, and they said that was a 4 cyl... I converted to a 4 cyl diesel. Since this series never had a turbo. Other than that everything went smooth. 

 

Here with the red one.

Model looks fantastic, and after a brief Google search, I know way more about Fred Dinbah than I did when I woke up this morning.

I had to ask a lot of people about the engine, because even the Santana did not have this model. Likely the conversion was a easy fix. Thank you James!

Update on the two Land Rover, now they are in their new forever home in the UK. Couldn't ask a better place for them. The night before delivery.

Like your second Dibnah Land Rover. Quite a contrast to your fire one.

Hopefully they may get displayed somewhere by their new UK owner this side of the pond.
