Tamiya 1/35 S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther (35076)

Conquer the rough terrain with the 1/35 S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther from Tamiya

A superb 1/35 scale model kit featuring the S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther. Up to the early 60's the Jeep remained the principal vehicle, since then the ubiquitous Land Rover has been employed. Since 1970 the SAS has used a more refined conversion of the long wheel base Mk II, as depicted in this kit.

This version lacks windscreen and side doors, but carries mounts for two general purpose machine guns. 3 smoke candle dischargers are mounted at each corner of the vehicle and special equipment includes a spotlight , pioneer tools, stowage lockers, and a rear tailboard extension which is used to carry stores: sand channels are another item, but other equipment, such as a radio set, is fitted depending on operational requirements.

With extra fuel tanks the vehicle has a road range of 1,100 miles and weighs 3 tons fully stored and equipped. while the Land Rover is the standard patrol vehicle, SAS Units may employ other vehicles as conditions demand.

As with all our Tamiya model kits, instructions are clear and concise, in order to allow the modeller to build a detailed model with relative ease.

These assembly kits require paint and modelling glue sold separately.
