Full Build Land Rover 88 series IIA - 1/35 from AK

Full Build video of this Land Rover 88 series IIA from AK interactive. I was inspired by some models from @mila_mitrailleuse (on Instagram). Which I saw on a Euro Model Expo in late 2023. My version lags miles behind his builds! But the car is just so nice that I had to make it too. It was a big learning curve and almost humbling to see my skills tested. Join me in a rollercoaster of emotions :)
The kit itself is decent. Especially the inside with a lot of small details that doesn't fit that well brings it down a bit. The exterior and the variation options, on the other hand, make it a very nice set!
I have to buy it again sometime and give it another go.
Enjoy the video!

I have had this in my stash a year now, i lost my building mojo in October so just getting back into it was going to build this as a quick easy build 😂 maybe not! Is there 2 dashboards in the kit for right and left hand drive? I'll be doing the AA version as what my Father drove in his day for the AA but its right hand drive.

[@roelvandelden2322]

Haha, not sure if this kit will give you your mojo back! But you can make the car left or right hand drive. The dash remains the same. Only the steering wheel (and pedals) change places. The exhaust also changes direction. The purpose of your build (for your father) is a good motivator to start building again. But then I would choose a different kit :) Hope you get the fun of building back!

Excellent build of a classic vehicle. Losing the decals on the rear sides, can be where the new owner has painted over the previous owners company name. Like you, what is the point of adding parts to something that will never be seen. Keep them for the spares box, never know when they might come in useful.

[@roelvandelden2322]

Thanks for the compliment! I painted a little too thick over that decal. My intention was to make it a bit more visible. Another reason to make this classic car (different manufacturer) again. :)
