Tamiya 300032407 LRDG with 7 Figures 32407 1:35 Military Model Kit

Product Information

Furthermore, the set includes accessories such as an anti-tank rifle, wooden boxes, and sleeping bags.

Did they really just sling a 351 on a metal tray on each wing? No attempt to fit the CIK between the seats and run cables to a TUAAM on the wing? Short range without the 16W amp, SURF and full 2.4m antenna to make it a 352. And short legged without a charging unit for the battery. The radio originally between the seats in the kit is an old Larkspur set which would have become redundant with Clansman, although they remained inter-operable. I would have expected to see a 320 for longer-range HF comms and a bagged 5m mast, if they were around then. Tamiya has a reputation for detail and accuracy and this series is a perfect example of this. The Tamiya designers work from measurements and thousands of picture references of the full sizes vehicles, including every detail and facet, to produce the most detailed models in this scale in the world. The quality of these models is such that many museums around the world use the Tamiya 1/35 Military Miniature Series to depict history to the visiting public. No - I scratchbuilt the Clansman units, along with the gas cooker, mess kit and 'cardboard' boxes (actually really thin plastic card) for a bit of local colour. I like to set myself challenges from time to time and was pleased with the general outcome of the Clansman radios I built. I scaled down the actual measurements and then tried to get as close as I could to the look and feel of the real items. With economy of weight a primary consideration, the roof and doors were removed; the vehicles were further localized with the use ofThe M4A3 was a sub-type of the Sherman tank. It featured a welded hull and was powered by a Ford GAA engine. Its armament consisted of a 76mm cannon and a 12.7mm machine gun. This variant was mainly deployed by the US Army with only a few units sent to France and Nicaragua. A number of these tanks took part at the Battle of Bulge in December 1944. As Viper says, 'European' Pinkies had bigger 'boots' than normal Landrovers - the top two images were taken in Belize as far as I'm aware. The tyres may be your biggest challenge as no-one does a set specific to the Pinkie. Comes with a host of parts depicting accessories such as sand mats, condenser, sleeping bags, canisters, boxes and more. The Medium Tank M4 Sherman was commonly used by the United States and other Western Allies during WWII. The tank was produced in large numbers, with thousands distributed through the Lend-Lease program to the British Commonwealth and Soviet Union. The British called the M4 'Sherman' after the American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman. The M3 Stuart was an American light tank that had been delivered to British forces by the US Government during WWII, before the Americans officially entered the war. Subsequently it was deployed by the Allies until the capitulation of Germany.

I've uploaded a photo of the spare wheel in place with the tyre bead breaker that lives on the offside rifle holster. The nose of the bead breaker locates in a reinforced hole in the front bumper. The wheel is mounted on the spare wheel carrier to keep sand out when replacing the inner tube. A good little diorama. Prior to that and perhaps in the image timeframe there was the Larkspur system. This looks like the kit radio between the seats. Larkspur A43, which is a UHF set: odd.This is a series in exact 1/35 scale of World War II & post war vehicles, armour and figures representing armies from all over the world. It is ideal for constructing dioramas. The details on the subjects are incredible and extremely accurate right down to the expressions on the soldiers' faces.

Here is a 351/352 configured as a 352 with the SURF on top of the set and the 16W amp (finned) between the set and battery. Note the wide GS bergen frame it all fitted onto. Next to it is the CIK frame which would be attached to the vehicle and into which the bergen frame clamped. On FFR Rovers it went on the Dexion behind the front seats. Clansman was coming into service in the late 70's: it had just arrived at Woolwich when I was there in 79 (don't you dare scratch it......). So maybe too late for your timeframe. Tyres are 9.00x16 Bargrips, same as the 101 Forward Control Land Rover. I don't know who would do them but if you found a 1/35 scale 101 then they would do, as long as you remember that the 101 has 6 stud wheels and the Pinkies are 5 stud. A good opportunity for 3d printing. A length of angle iron is fitted on the bulkhead behind the front seats. All existing radios and mounts need to be removed first.

The theodolite stand is moved from the offside wing and either goes laterally across the bonnet just in front of the netting, or has been seen running down the centre line of the bonnet. No reason why but it's easier to reach when going fore and aft rather than across. 10FG51 has it going across because that's where the old bolt holes are. If a UHF radio was included, a PRC344 lived on the nearside fuel board, I don't think it has the battery attached, I think the battery might have been attached remotely behind the driver. Side hatches on the rear bed radio storage compartment can be assembled in open or closed position. Two 12v battery chargers live behind the Commanders seat (the raised passenger seat). A 4Ah battery lives behind the drivers seat. There is a combination of Larkspur switch boxes and Clansman crew/harness boxes mounted on the bulkhead between the front seats. These allowed the crew to communicate and monitor radios at the same time. Any old soldier can pull up a sandbag and chip in here about Clansman 🙂 That'll do for now, happy to follow on if you like, or have specific questions. I couldn't speculate any further as to the Clansman fit, I'll no doubt be getting it wrong and incurring the wrath of those who know better.
