Now that there is a business relationship with Jaguar Land Rover, I would love to suggest a classic Land Rover.

Maybe the Iconic Series I "HUE", or Series II or III?

Lots of options but maybe the option to build the model as a canvas-top (with real canvas, natch), or hard-top, or station wagon variants?

I'm sure the model making community would love to have a large scale Land Rover in their collection and I'm equally sure the kit "hackers" and "modders" would go to town on lots of different variations, military versions and other derivatives.

Just imagine a Special Forces "Pink Panther" version, or what about the "Tomb Raider" version?

Surely we can generate some interest for a 1/8th "Landy" kit with options?


Building: E=Type Jaguar
Built: Aston Martin DB5 "007"

I have a stripped down series 3 at home. It needs a bit of welding here and there but has a new galvanized chassis to build on.
A model kit would light my eyes up.

And when you think of how many countries this was exported too probable some overseas model makers would also be interested.
Happy Modelling

Surprised nobody has done one before, could be a popular choice.
