Does anybody know where I might get hold of plastic model (Airfix, Revell etc) Land Rover kits?  What'd be really cool was if a SWB Series III truck cab model was available.  Any scale.

There is/used to be/think it's still there, a model shop in Huddersfield called "something wicked" If it is still there then they will get you one in the very unlikely instance that they don't already have one. A proper modellers model shop that one. Dunno if they have a web site tho'

I've tried all my local(ish) model shops.  Plenty of Defenders and Freelanders, but no Series.  Some have die cast Series, but where's the fun in that?   :D

Hi Xmob, if your going to the LRO show this weekend, look out for the remote control models stand, should br near the cattle shed where the band plays in evening.

Anyay I bought a series body off them 1/10 scale to fit a R/C chassis.
It was a truck cap with a cover for the back. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I won't be at the show.   :(

I'll be in York at the weekend so I'll visit Monk Bar Models who claim that they can get me what I want if I go in and see them.  I'll keep you posted.
