Tamiya 1:35 SAS Land Rover PINK PANTHER

The kit proposed by Tamiya company includes a plastic model kit of British military car in 1:35 scale.

The war in North Africa proved that the desert gives almost unlimited tactical possibilities. On the one hand, the endless sands hindered communication, on the other hand, allowed deep infiltration of the area occupied by the enemy. The British used this possibility and decided to establish a special unit - the Long Range Desert Group. Its task was to destroy the enemy base, its warehouses, fuel depots and even airports. With time, these tasks joined another unit - S.A.S. Its soldiers moved in jeeps stacked with guns and equipment, making rapid and destructive raids on German and Italian facilities, causing heavy losses to the enemy. One of the cars adapted for such tasks was the legendary Land Rover jeep.

Tamiya plastic model kit allows assembly of S.A.S. Land Rover Pink Panther with a driver. Box includes three sprues with parts.

Plastic parts should be cut out of frames, fit together and glued according to the assembly instruction. You should paint the whole model using modeling paints according to the proposed paint scheme in the instruction. It is important to remember that some plastic parts require painting before gluing.
