I missed out on these but I do hope they re-release! Good to go with my Challenger 2 in the same scale! Plus will never say no to more Land Rover kits!
A decent range of kits that I somehow missed out on. I served in Iraq and Afghan at a time when Snatch and WMIK Landies were everywhere, some in desert colours, some in NATO green but most in a weather beaten mix of both! I always hoped they'd release a GS Wolf Landy as part of the range as well. Much more suited to being posed alongside a helicopter as a ground crew hack, especially with the roof platform and ladder that the helicopter support versions had.
@@MOS6510Models Yes, it does. The plus side of this scale is that it is larger then 1/72 and still can go with planes and helicopters. My biggest dream are planes in 1/35 or vehicles in 1/32. Also there are so few civilian vehicles in 1/35 scale. 😕
An excellent range of kits and just right for diorama's with 1/48 aircraft. Would be nice to see a re-release if even in limited form please @Airfix 🙂. Thanks Mos
This Snatch is the same as those sent out to Op. Telic and Herrick. There were some changes under the bonnet but I left that to the REME! The figures would take a heck of a lot to convert them to Op. Banner though. It just wouldn’t be worth the effort. I think Dragon’s (?) British Troops had British Soldiers with chest webbing, no radios or glasses moulded in. That would give a better ‘image’ of the Troops on Op Banner. Happy modelling! Ian Edit: the rear seats aren’t correct in that the wheel arch came up between the two seats and there was a gap the same width as the seats. Often used as a spare seat but not officially!
Nice video, Mos. I'm a fan of ww2 era planes mostly, but this kit has got my attention. Also, what is the enscription in the bottom right, below your badge?
I've done a quick scan, and the scale seems largely dead. However there is a new 3D printed kit company making this scale and Tamiya has just started pairing vehicles with planes. Could possibly go with a Buccaneer or a Lynx
@TrigmaotionCoUk: Not so sure.... Tamiya have released a number of 1/48th AFV kits that seem pretty popular; They have a recent 1/48th Challenger II in desert scheme, and this Airfix kit would look great alongside it in a diorama.... 😉 Tamiya have a number of very good looking WWII armour in this scale too - it seems to go down well, so although it's not the normal 1/35th, it's still a decently detailed scale to work in, which takes up a lot less space too!! 👍
There's a Patrol and Support or a Heli Support set both of which include a Lynx AH.7. Not so sure about the scale being dead though, less popular for vehicles and figures maybe...
Considering the "glorious" retreat from Afghanistan by the western countries I doubt Airfix will be in a hurry to re-release the Operation Herrick boxes. A retreat which pushed that country back to the 7th century.
@@stevesstuff1450 Certainly, but the uniforms and weapons become outdated so fast and the Landrover is such a mundane vehicle that you really would have to search for an interesting scheme that "sells". In 30 years time maybe, as a "Vintage Classic".
Me thinks you have to have a word in Dales ear
Would love to see that quad bike again
Amen to that!! Cracking little build

Thank you @matthewshedden3567 for leaving a comment. Please subscribe if you haven't as yet.. It really helps the channel grow.
Deffo bring it back and the other kits in that range I missed out on the tank
Yes.. ive seen that tank for sale at models shows for 50 quid

thats interesting.. i think 1/48 didnt sell as well as hoped
Very Nice ! A pretty kit Thanks to review
Thanks for watching!
@@MOS6510Models you re welcome. Do you plan to build it (and show on youtube) It will be great. Bye J-Yves
I have the snatch land-rover and the wmik land-rover. They were good to build and paint
yes.. all the same i guess
Give me that kit now!!!!
I thought you would like it matey.. :)
I really wish airfix would make challenger tank it just feels odd there haven't made one yet.
YES!!!!!!! said that many times
Lovely kit Moss, cheers Liam
No problem 👍
They should re-release the OP Herrick range would also be good if they did some of trucks aswell like the armoured MAN EPLS or Mastiff
Yes!! Than Man EPLS is a cracking shout
@MOS6510Models 5:15 harry whittle
🎉
Be great if they re-released it as RAF Regiment, then would fit in perfectly with 1/48 aircraft 👍
Absolutely!! Or Northern Ireland
1/48 isn't very popular ground vehicle scale. I'd enjoy seeing it retooled to 1/35. 🙂
Doesnt tamiya do a range of 1/48 though?
@@MOS6510Models Yes, it does. The plus side of this scale is that it is larger then 1/72 and still can go with planes and helicopters.

@@calibear569 border do some 1/35 planes
@@MOS6510Models : Yes, and they too are very good - typical Tamiya quality; just smaller! 😉
@@TringmotionCoUk I didn't know that. Thank You so much!

I'm working on it
@@MOS6510Models you the man!
I enjoyed that👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Would like to see a Northern Ireland version.

Now.. Thats an awesome shout!!! Seriously excellent

its a sticker i give to channel members.. Dont blame the kit, always dry fit..
The 1/48 scale only seems popular for aircraft.
Very true..
tamiya has 8-10 armor kits in 1/48. but yes, not a large selection. 1/72 would be sweet. tons of figures and tanks in 1/72
True that @george but the scale is very complementary for vehicle and aircraft diorama's
Would buy that to go with a 1/48 helicopter kit.
1/48 AgustaWestland Merlin HC3 was released by airfix at the same time..
Would love to see it in 1/72 or 1/76
I've done a quick scan, and the scale seems largely dead. However there is a new 3D printed kit company making this scale and Tamiya has just started pairing vehicles with planes. Could possibly go with a Buccaneer or a Lynx
AgustaWestland Merlin HC3 is in the mix too

@@stevesstuff1450 I should clarify cars/jeeps/soft skinned vehicles. I had in mind Tamiya 25214
There's a Patrol and Support or a Heli Support set both of which include a Lynx AH.7. Not so sure about the scale being dead though, less popular for vehicles and figures maybe...
No driver or passengers, should have at least the former, shame.
Thats a good shout
They've all de-bussed and the driver is gone for an egg roll 😬
Considering the "glorious" retreat from Afghanistan by the western countries I doubt Airfix will be in a hurry to re-release the Operation Herrick boxes.
A retreat which pushed that country back to the 7th century.
I'm sure they could find a new scheme to re-release the kit under... 😉
I would like to see an Northern Ireland one

its a cool kit but to say theres no flash is abit of a fib
I didnt see any flash...
