gwb123 Posted July 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2020 To get the thread started... a pair of British Army Land Rovers in Germany circa 1982. The one in the rear is the classic Land Rover Defender, and the one in front is a more specialized design. In front of them is a nondescript US Army minivan, of which I spent several bumpy rides in. The Land Rovers have the classic black and green camouflage typical of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR). Link to comment
Proud Kraut Posted July 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2020 Nice picture! Looks like a command post or signal LR variation. Link to comment
917601 Posted August 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2020 I have had this one for twenty years or so.....just repainted it and put the Brownig in the turret for a nice hour at the range. Link to comment
917601 Posted August 19, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2020 I will add I did not use the correct paint color, I used my favorite 1944 OD, instead of that nasty British Forrest green semi gloss ( yes, semi gloss was MoD correct) and I left off the flat black disruptive stripes. Here is a better picture after I painted the wheel rims and touched up the turret hatch. Link to comment
917601 Posted August 20, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2020 Another one of the turret. I was lucky to have the grenade launchers, spotlight, MG cradle and periscope intact. Link to comment
