2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

What's with the "gangsta" wheels in some of the photos?!

It looks a good kit.

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

It does look like a good kit. I need to find a UK stockist

The detailing work is really good in some areas as well, but I suspect whoever built it hasn't owned a Land Rover. Rust colours on the ali roof panels don't look right and the silver detailing around the window openings just takes the edge off it for me. But still a stunning build.

Perhaps I should have started with a scale kit rather than going direct to 1:1 scale

I'd like to see the wife's face if you started to build a 1:1 version on the kitchen table.

Don't even go there. When I was building my 4x2 I could not see the problem in building an axle in the lounge.......

I've got one of these sat on a shelf waiting to be built, it's in a queue with the Tamiya Honda NSX.
