Hobbyboss 1/35 Land Rover RSOV

[Stikpusher]

I completed this build yesterday afternoon. Built in three monthly four hour Zoom session for a So Cal AMPS online 12 hour build challenge. This is the Hobbyboss 1/35 Land Rover Defender Ranger Special Operations Vehicle, built OOB, aside from swapping out the shovel and water cans for US types instead of the British types that came in the kit. I used Tamiya Rubber Black over a Tamiya lacquer flat black base, and Vallejo color for detail items such as seat cushions, weapons, and stowage. Weathering is AK Pigments, Middle Eastern Soil

Thanks for looking. Comments and critters are welcome. ;)

Nice work and not over "weathered", which bugs me. Interesting in that it is right hand drive. Here's a similar vehicle in1/72 that I converted from the JB Landrover kit. Your's has much finer detail, of course. I especially like the MGs.

Thanks Ron. Yeah, this is the US version that was used by the Ranger Regiment in the 90’s and early 00’s, so left hand drive. I have two Brit versions of this kit in my stash with a slightly different set up and right hand drive. I really can’t say enough good stuff about this kit, it was a true pleasure to build. Aside from Hobbyboss not having the US specific shovel and water jugs, (thank goodness for the spares bin) this kit really rocks! 
Your Braille Scale LandRover came out nice as well! One of the Brit ones in my stash has the same Milan missile set up.
