Secret Mission - Revealed!

A special 'birthday' commission build of my good friends Land Rover 110 Defender 'Wolf'


Base kit was Hobby Boss Defender with Eduard's etch kit for the final details.


The kit went together with no fit issues.


The main issue is the wheels and tyres. Luckily Accurate Armour had just released the Wolf XD Steel wheels + G90 Tyres which give a better representation of the beefy wheels.


The build work done - a lot of the interior detail will be difficult to see such as seat belt details etc. (and its all painted black!)


Tool brackets were very fiddly but add a lot of fine detail.


Rear tool brackets were scratchbuilt...


...as was the snorkel.


Towing strap was fashioned from a scalpel blade packet.


The kit is quite small in 1/35th scale.


All the construction work finished and ready for primer.


All the parts in sub assembly fully painted and ready to be put together.


A gallery of the finished thing.
