I thought it was about time I did something with this. it's another soft top Landrover but I'm not doing it in Military colours -more on this later. I havn't done pictures of the sprue shots as there are others already shown in other threads.
The kit itself pretty much fell together with just a minimal amount of filler around the bonnet/wings join. Then it was sprayed with Halfords white primer.
Once dry I gave it a couple of coats of H130 Satin White. The seats and inside door panels were painted H165 grey and the window rubbers were done in H33 Matt Black. The over paint will be dealt with later. The window parts fitted really well.
To be continued......

Add the wheels and bumpers and that's more or less it for the build.
Now add the Zebra stripes....
And we're there!
Seeing the photos I might go around it and touch up the white and black a bit.
Cheers!

That's great.....Very novel indeed! 
I'd love to see it in a diorama setting! 
Just a thought, all the best
