Land Rover type 109 (long chassis)

Comments

Sub-brand Minitanks, so old model Roco. Unpainted, no colour trims. I silvered the headlights and put red on the rear lights. Obliged to cut the thermoformed packaging to accept mirrors and spare wheel. Not worth the price.

In case you want to improve this model, colours to use: headlights rounded corner square frame and grille polished metal. Wheel hubs and nuts black. In the front, position lights up, white, indicators down, orange. At the rear, position lights bottom, red, indicators top, orange.
