A richly illustrated guide to modeling the military Land Rover, filled with previously unseen inspirational photographs and drawings.
The Land Rover was originally designed to fill a gap in the Rover Car Company's post-war product portfolio. Initially based on Willy's-Overlands Jeep, the now-legendary Land Rover was adopted by armed forces across the globe almost immediately. By its sixtieth anniversary in 2008 the Land Rover was serving as a combat vehicle and as a first responder platform.
This unique LandCraft title looks into the Land Rover's development during the immediate post-war years, to its development and growth as a military vehicle synonymous with versatility. The book charts how the Land Rover evolved into unique military-only variants.
The book also examines how this modest 4x4 grew from an innocuous Cold War cargo vehicle into a weapons platform supporting troops in the deserts of South West Asia. The military Land Rover truly offers the modeler an exciting range of subject, era and theatre choices.
