Hobby Boss Land Rover Defender XD Wolf WMIK 1/32

[CptTangerine]

This is the first Hobby Boss model I have attempted. Everything is going together nicely at the moment with minimal fiddling. The only weirdness was fitting the handbrake drum which attaches to the chassis in a slightly improbable fashion. I was frustrated not to be able to find any photos that would help, so for anyone else with the same problem here they are.

Any pics of the box contents and aftermarket?

[CptTangerine]

I didn't take any of the box contents though I think there are some available on Google images. I'm doing this right out of the box without any after market additions. I did look at the Accurate Armour kits but I felt that they didn't really add anything to the model and were very expensive.

I built (still to be painted) the rsov version. That part drove me mad too lol

Hi all

After quite a long stretch of suffering from can't-be-bothered, I got back into the groove and did some more on the Landy.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Very nice looking WMIK. The chassis looks great, though not rusty enough to belong to and Land Rover Defender series vehicle

Thats a nice looking build, I'm a sucker for a Land Rover so may just invest in one myself

[CptTangerine]

Cheers! You know, I was going to make it rustier (based on my own) but one of my friends looked with such horror at the amount I'd already done that I figured I would reign it in a bit

I'm a sucker for a Land Rover too...

That is looking great.
