No longer in my collection as I was asked if sale. Price agreed and sold. New Owner happy with it. Hope to be uploading something new soon stay tuned my friends.
I'm very happy with it Andrew - An excellent model and very well packed for transit. Absolute gentleman. Andrew White is an excellent modeller, highly recommended.
Thank you Alan much appreciated I did build a lot of parts from Scratch. I am with another build at the moment in 1/35th scale with a lot of scratch building stay tuned my friend.
Thank you so much for looking and the very kind comment. I have these crazy ideas at times and think give it ago. I will be building again soon and posting my friend.
Thank you again mate. Living in the UK struggle to get 1/6th vehicles unless you pay the earth. I try to show with a little imagination you can turn old action man busted vehicles into something half descent. Yes I know they are closer to 1/7th scale but I think they do the job.
This is an excellent video. Just a note, the Action Man Land Rover was actually based on the Land Rover Lightweight, which was an air portable version designed to fit inside the British cargo plane at the time. The AM toy was actually very close in dimensions to the real thing, and was never intended to look like the standard Series II Land Rover. I love what you did here.
@@andrewwhite6509 Absolutely, the LWB 109 or 110 as it was called was the Pink Panther, fantastic vehicle. If you Google the Lightweight LR, you will see what Palitoy was trying to do, I prefer the 110 to the Lightweight. I wish Palitoy would have made that but in proper scale, it would have been 30" long!!!
Thank you so much for a great comment. I have not posted in awhile as personal circumstance changes. I have moved home in the process of renovating but eventually will get back to building again. Thank you for looking.

MEGA build and skills ANDY as always !! MY photo collection of SAS pink panthers (the 47 RLC AD unit RAF LYNEHAM i mentioned earlier ) shows the PINK hue paint job to be FADED ... That DHOFAR SUN and heat is a nightmare !! On paint work the Uniforms good original mix one in shorts etc ANOTHER alternative !? Ok couple of MOOT pts : the rear TRPIE GPMG is an M240 US GPMG !!! NO PICAUTINNY rails on the OMAN era L RVR OPS! But the wooden butts spot on! Noted wooden furniture SLRs too!! Useful alternative a G3 H&K / AR 15 / 9mm STERLING smg and an L42 sniper rifle ( you rarely ever see ) I'm told by other VETS EX SF/SOF winged DAGGER SAS BERET NOT openly displayed on MAJOR OPS !! A jeep cap OD GRN and or Bush hat useful headress ; liked the BLACK Jersey worn by TRPIE DVR fig (there is a photo of SAS OMAN VETERAN late JOHNNY COOPER wearing one on visiting OMANI forces HOWEVER ref to the SAS BERET etc PHOTOS show SAS Lad's wearing berets in TRNG in M.EAST mainly in UNIFORM dress etc as opposed to EX and OPS etc !!?? One is a B /W photo a LOFTY LARGE book a known TRNG EX 1970s IRAN desert ! The troops are wearing what looks like jungle greens!?? THE OTHER is of particular personal interest (as a BELFAST born ULSTERMAN having lived thru the N.IRELAND "TROUBLES" 60s 70s and 3 ULSTER tours 79 81 and 89 into 1990 ! IN Tony Geraghtys original HB book and poss? In the follow up SAS pictorial photo book (trust me a veritable "BIBLE " LOL to many MODELLING fans and SOLDIERS at a time when little SF subject matter available !!) HE mentioned a HIGH profile SAS MOBILITY TRP PTL around NEWTOWNARDS CO.DOWN clearly GREEN SAS LANDIES GPMG mounted etc Only a couple of B/W photos of the Patrol OPENELY wearing SAS BERET OD combats etc an amusing photo set a TRPIE reading the NEWTOWNARDS chronicle paper and a TRPIE and TRP offr about to prep some sandwiches with ORMEAU bakery bread !!(local to ULSTERMEN and Folk LOL ) poss.? Another photo has been seen a rear shot of SAS L RVR long shot!? CLEARLY this was early or mid 60s as NOT possible for open patrolling LATE 60s !! IF ANYONE can shed light on this or ANY other SF /SOF related subject it would be VERY WELCOME !! Lastly but no means late ... A TAMIYA model mag article few years ago (a reply from an SAS DHOFAR VET ) ref the actual body construction and EQPT stowage FITTED to PINK panthers ..in that the known version I E TAMIYA model kit etc WAS NOT a NORMAL OPS Mobility L RVR !!???? In fact I think ?!? It was a MARSHALLS of CAMBRIDGE standard Vech. That happened to be available for the TAMIYA guys to photo shoot for ref purposes prior to KIT production!!?? I've NOT seen any info /photos to update the information ....but it caused SOME confusion and SERIOUS conversation replies in The mag !! I gather a New book is due OUT (healthy SAS input of VETERANs ) soon if not already published!!?? THANKS guys hope this is useful to others AND NOT in anyway trying to be DETRIMENTAL to ANYONE else !! MODELLING is a great hobby allowing WE MODELLERS and WOGELLERS (WARGAMER MODELLERS LOL ) a good SKILLS base and Fantastic HOBBY for which we should be grateful indeed !! HAVE you any PLANS to do any DIORAMAS at all ?? Maybe food for thought ANDY !?

RAF Regt was coming to end of OMAN SALALAH MASIRA is. Desert adventures back in ULSTER our ATC trips to RAF ALDERGROVE etc had many weapons demos etc from ROCKAPES : RAF Regt gnrs 'FRESH " from OMAN CYPRUS etc etc SO my fate was deemed to be so !

I wore a Durham Barbour fr yrs and in RECCE OPS Strip dwn L RVRs etc BARBOURS are de riguer for the lads just ask any 80s era PARA lol THANKS ANDY stalwart as ever
Another note. The LR 's original spare tire location was ontop of the bonnet, but this interfered with the GPMG mounted on the LR's front bulkhead, so the spare was relocated.
Thank you for looking and the comment. reason pink is SAS discovered when moving early morning and evening ( In the Sudan Desert If mem serves me right) That the desert sands took on a pink look. Hence the Name Pink Panthers was given to the SAS.
@@andrewwhite6509 Thanks,I have decided to convert my land rover to the SAS series 1 protortype,could you tell me what glue you use to stick the styrene to the plastic please.cheers
Thank you for looking and the comment. The SAS and other desert groups learned towards the end of WW2 I think. That pink in certain deserts pink was a very effective camouflage. Google SAS pink. Look up images my friend.
@@andrewwhite6509 Wow, cool learnt something new thanks dude :) did google it! Hope you don't get me wrong it's a fantastic build (me and punk don't get along lol).
@@CrashHeadroom It is why this vehicle was called the 'Pink Panther'. It was introduced in Oman during the British campaign there in about 68/69. The 109 Land Rover was modified by a company called Marshall's of Cambridge, and every surface of the LR including tire sidewalls was painted that pink colour. In the day, cloudy, sunny, at dusk and dawn, and at night, this particular pink blended in the desert better than any other colour.
@@andrewwhite6509 id never done anything with RC stuff other than the odd toy as a kid (and adult) but got it into my head i would RC my daughter's Barbie toy car. I had great fun doing it. A simple starting point is a Mardave mini kit and i got a cheep flysky controller. Since that ive done a few things and have some plans for the future too. Daughter loves the car and Barbie drives at about 20mph now!

@@adewills9426 Thank you very much from a true Gent and a brilliant builder himself.
I would call this a scratch build using cannibalized parts--not a mere kit-bash. You put in a lot of work and the results impress me.
Thank you Alan much appreciated I did build a lot of parts from Scratch. I am with another build at the moment in 1/35th scale with a lot of scratch building stay tuned my friend.
Wonderful work.
Thank you Paul very much appreciated and thank you for watching my friend.

Awesome work mate
Thank you so much very much appreciated. Have crazy ideas about building things hence doing a pink Panther.
Nice work on the jeep, looks great. 👍
Thank you for your kind comment bud and for looking.
So amazing. I love it!
Thank you for the great comment and looking my friend.
Great work. An inspiration for when i build a series 3 Landy.
Thank you Mik for looking and the great comment. Good luck with your build.
Fantastic effort. Looks great.
Cheers mate thank you for the comment and looking.
Amazing work ! Looks the business
Thank you again mate. Living in the UK struggle to get 1/6th vehicles unless you pay the earth. I try to show with a little imagination you can turn old action man busted vehicles into something half descent. Yes I know they are closer to 1/7th scale but I think they do the job.

Thank you so much for looking and the great info. I based my model on pictures I found on the web. So hence long wheel base my friend.
@@andrewwhite6509 Absolutely, the LWB 109 or 110 as it was called was the Pink Panther, fantastic vehicle.
If you Google the Lightweight LR, you will see what Palitoy was trying to do, I prefer the 110 to the Lightweight. I wish Palitoy would have made that but in proper scale, it would have been 30" long!!!
Excellent job mate you are a genius 👍👍👍
