Just finished these 2 Landrovers. I was inspired to get them after viewing a DVD on the SAS that had 2 landrovers driving over a course and suddenly opening up on a target with front and back GMP's. Shades of David Stirling! Unfortunately I have never read an account of that happening in reality. Although landrovers were used to transport SAS on an external op into Zambia.
These 2 are painted in standard Rhodesian colors. The GMPs are Lib figures weapons. The tire on the hood is left over from the Panhard 90. Both are Liberation miniatures. I am hoping the longer wheel base landrover comes back in stock as well as the bedford trucks. I need to order some crew to go with these vehicles still. They will be useful for a convoy scenario or external raids.

Excellent Blog.
Use of Landrovers was limited due to mine threat. The Rh SAS used long wheelbase Landrovers on the raid into Lusaka. Painted in Zambian army colours - overall green with sand and brown small brush strokes. MAG mounted in rear and forward.
I have made some MAP TCVs etc but many of my models are now in the RAFA Club Bedford Rhodesia at War Collection.
