Default Saw A LANDROVER BODY for the Micro!!

I was looking through the Menards ad and it had a 1/25 scale Landrover for 15.00. Thought you Micro guys would want to know.

The one pictured in the ad in a Range Rover Sport and the orange in the the build thread is a LR3.

They're out there if you look in the right places. Unfortunately most of those places are overseas.

I scored this one off Ebay from a Hong Kong vendor, it's not here yet though. Hopefully there will be no problems

1:24th scale Aoshima Range Rover Classic:



I'm going to do a miniature version of my own Rover (if I can find the right wheel/tire combo...)



Tires and wheels are going to be the big obstacle to overcome. I may end up going with a 1:20th or maybe 1:14th scale body if it doesn't work out.

I've seen a crap load of 1:14th scale RR Sports on Ebay, they might work out to be good swap candidates:

you are sadly mistaken my friend. The one in the build thread is most definitely undeniably a Range rover sport. Trust me I have been around every type of rover for the last 15 years

That's the one I'd really like but I came across a 2 door at my LHS. I've got this rig so you know I'll be making one like it

Thanks, it gets the job done . Once school is out, I'll be working on the body, then I'll just need the crawler to go under it

Nice truck man. The 2-doors have way more room to open up the fenderwells in the rear.

The Aoshima kit I got is the only LWB I've seen. I ran across a bunch of the Italieri Paris/Dakar kits though, it would be perfect to replicate your 1:1 with:



Heres one on Ebay. I've seen them at Tower also:
