My brother served as ground crew propulsion in the RAF. He told me that if war should be declared one of the first jobs was to grab a tin of green paint and paint over the horizontal yellow stripe around their Land Rovers. Mad but true.

I served in the RAF for 22 years, I have fond memories of bombing around in land rovers but ours were painted in camouflage colours. I remember the station landy’s painted in the scheme you’re doing. Looking forward to following this build even now. 👍👏👏

Hi Tony. Tony does a good job of researching everything. It's easy to understand that you can adjust the behavior during driving by changing the number of springs, and I get a sense of Tony's kind personality. Please continue to tell me more about it. thank you. ハイ　トニー。トニーは何事もよく調べてくれていますね。 スプリングの枚数を変えることで走行時の挙動を調整できることを教えてくれている事でよく解るし、トニーの優しい性格を感じます。 これからも色々教えてください。ありがとう。

Hi Tony, great video, and not tedious at all, it's really good to see what goes into the kits and lets anybody who's thinking of buying one know what to expect before they part with cash, brilliant job mate.

You had me and my brother Dale hunting through my dad's old photos. My father, John was an M.P in the RAF with Fighter Command as it was then, and served both here and overseas in the late fifties & early sixties. We were sure there were photos of him in Land Rovers and we were right. During his posting in Aden, in late 1961 to 62 there are a plethora of pictures with him in a number of series 1 Landys. Although I can't confirm the colours, as they are B&W pics. None of them have any identification markings, so I'm not sure as to whether they were borrowed or belonged to the RAF. I think I remember him saying that his qualification drive was in a Land Rover for his driving licence, was to take a drive up the runway and back, and with a "well done, here's your license" kind of deal! I have a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents Diploma dated 1964 - noting 4127374 CPL Futter, J. RAF Marham, has been awarded a diploma for the driver of a mechanically propelled vehicle to be free from any blameworthy accidents whilst driving a vehicle during that year... So I guess he must have driven them fairly carefully 😀 This will mean from now on in your build I'll be thinking of my late father with the fun he must of had in those wonderful vehicles.

Love nights get to see the latest video first .great video Tony as always .when i was in the army we used the air portable land-rover, excellent on cross country. 😅😅😅

Another seriously interesting upload. Really enjoying this build, spent many years driving the length and breadth of Germany in landrovers (cough Army) attached to RAF Guttersloh. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Ya keeping me in suspense until next time

To apply the grease from the bags just snip a corner off, after you've squeezed the grease to the other end. Just like icing a cake.

Good vid! Lol, love the sweatshirt, 👍

Looking good 👍

What you do on these builds is very important. I saw a video yesterday from a gentleman who appeared to live over in your part of the world, and he should have waited to see this video! He spent about one hour taking apart his rear axle because he glued the bearings in the before installing the axles and could not get the long one in. So what you do may seem boring and unnecessary to some is very useful. Keep up the good work!

It looks good. It's definitely a lot easier than building a full-size vehicle like what I am building with my daughtet

Looking sharp, Tony. Nice paint work. Perhaps you could use black permanent marker on the sliding portion of the shock (inner), it would allow it to be the correct color while not adding as much thickness as spraying paint would, which inhibits the movement. I doubt where it's located you'd notice the difference.

The primer and following paint application looks amazingly smooth. Very professional! The axles with their satin black paint on, flawless! Congrats to your painting skills, Tony! 👍

Looking absolutely lovely Tony - the quality of the parts must make this model an absolute joy to construct.

Tony: Appreciate al the time you are taking and subtle thoughts to have us take our time in doing our builds. It looks like it will be fun to see it drive once completed.

Those E clips can be tricky little fellows looks a good tool👍👍 . Gonna look good in RAF colours 🎩🎩 hat off to our gallant force's 👍👍🍸🍸. Did think your Landy was going to be Fred Dibnah red 😂😂 Great work as always standard issue welljell 😭 . 👀👀 for next tank info.

Good afternoon, Tony Thank you for sharing all your builds, which I have watched everyone. In regards to the diff would your recommend some sort of gasket as I assume moisture may enter if the vehicle goes in some water

Great vid Tony. I wonder, would you be able to drive the vehicle through a water feature? I ask because i didn’t see you install any gasket or o-ring material on the axles to keep the water out of them.

Really enjoying your build of this great kit. Just a couple of questions, you said you added the weld beads to the chassis, great idea. Did you make them yourself or was it a aftermarket item? 2nd question, do you think that the axels have enough meat on them to round off to add a better scale look. Keep up the good work & I love your take on the colour. ATB Tim

Just found your channel and subscribed. Nice work

👁👁

I think I might end up taking my axles apart again! 🤦‍♂️

If you build the Leopard model next I will be your best friend for a month
