So, 1/72nd scale means the model is about matchbox model size? About

1" high? Or am i doing something wrong

1/72 = 1/6" to 1'. so a 6ft wide LR will be about 1" wide as a model. summat close to the HO/OO railway model scale - I forget which one: one is 1/72 and one is 1/80 with the wrong size track gauge.

Personally, I've always preferred modelling at a larger scale than that.

I've always preferred my models blonde and cuddly. ;-)

I've always preferred my models :)

Mmm, not what im looking for at all. Im thinking more 1/10 to 1/16 scale. Even 1/35 is too small, which seems to be the biggest available for the 101GS

Buy a Range rover kit, assemble the chassis and scratch build a 101 body.

After all, that's what Land Rover did, more or less.

Except the 101 chassis is completely different from the Rangie and the

101 runs on leaf springs, not coils.

In fact the only Rangerover thing about the 101 is the engine, and even a rangerover 3.5 won't fit in a 101.

yeah, brain fade. It's the paperwork that says range rover on it.
