S3 109 Para Recce Radio Fit.

[bigmal]

I am currently building a 1/24 scale model of the mentioned vehicle, and have come across a small problem.

 

The radios provided in the kit do not resemble any thing I`ve seen before.

 

I am depicting the vehicle as used in the late 70`s- early80`s.

 

So, can any one show me any photos of the actual radio fit in the rear of these vehicles or point me in the right direction of some as i want to get this part as accurate as i can due to there being no roof on the vehicle and it is the focus of the model?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Malcolm

 

Someone passed this web site on to me that might be of some use to you !!!!!!!!! What model sites are you posting your 1/24 build on ????????

 

http://www.land-rover-lightweight.co.uk/Clansman.html

 

I post on Armorama and Britmodeller as Okdoky

 

Hope to see your build blog

 

All the best

I cant help with the radio installation in this specific vehicle but if you need to see detail of the Clansman sets themselves I am happy to take photos (if the ones at http://www.g0ozs.org/clansman do not have what you need). Louse Meulstee's site http://www.wftw.nl/larkspur/larkspur1.html or Petra Henderson's http://www.henderson-tele.com/royal-signals/rby/rby/larkspur.html are probably the best free resources for Larkspur.

 

1976-1982 is the period of transition from Larkspur to Clansman so either fit is correct for the period - more likely to be Clansman towards the end of the period.

Hello Nige,

 

I go on both those model forums and Mil Mod site but don`t post my work on them because I don`t have the means to do so.

When i have i will play catch-up.

How`s the TM coming along?

 

Iain, thanks for the links they will be very useful.

I think i will have to go with Larkspur as there is a model source for these, but will have to buy a new kit to get them.

 

Thanks and regards
