These open top SAS landrovers were in use in the early seventies in Northern Ireland finished in either Bronze green or green and black

Ok Update 1

Going to put pic's of how I am getting on here. For the colour of the Landover I went with dark green, it says on the instructions "the painting colour of this vehicle is a dark green in great Britain."

That's looking great and lovely detail on the weapons. Plenty of stowage too.

The only comment though is you'll need to get that shine off the tyres.

Hope you can finish by tomorrow evening!

Ok it's finished have a look and tell me what you think. I know the wheels are a bit more shiny than they should be but not sure how to change them, used humbrol matt black for them.

Thos eHumbrol paints needs lots & lots of stirring to get the colour/finish right.... I suspect the "matt" bit is sitting at the bottom of the tin.
Or try dry-brushing with a sand/earth colour to make look used
