1/35+ Land Rover Camel Trophy

[Eighth Air Force Pilot]

Ok. So on the side I dream of owning my own Camel Trophy Land Rover, but right now the best I can do is build a scale version. Anyone know of any 1/35 or larger Land Rover Defender 110 or Discovery? The only thing I'm aware are military versions made by HobbyBoss. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Italeri has done a 109... Kit 6508

They also do the SIII 109 in 1:24. But the 109 was only ever support (the SIII 88" did the CT in 1983).

 

I'm a big time LR aficionado (pre-1995), and have never found much in the way of kits.

 

Doogs, I'm right there with you! I really don't care too much for anything LR made after 1999. They became too soft if you know what I mean. 

 

I actually prefer the older Defender's that were the support vehicles. I just like the body style more.

They went after the luxury-douchebag market instead...the new stuff is all terrible.

 

Totally agree!

 

I like the 109, but prefer the 110. Do you reckon there would be any way to use HobbyBoss 110 hardtop? I really don't think the chassis is long enough
