A decent range of kits that I somehow missed out on. I served in Iraq and Afghan at a time when Snatch and WMIK Landies were everywhere, some in desert colours, some in NATO green but most in a weather beaten mix of both! I always hoped they'd release a GS Wolf Landy as part of the range as well. Much more suited to being posed alongside a helicopter as a ground crew hack, especially with the roof platform and ladder that the helicopter support versions had.

@@MOS6510Models Yes, it does. The plus side of this scale is that it is larger then 1/72 and still can go with planes and helicopters. My biggest dream are planes in 1/35 or vehicles in 1/32. Also there are so few civilian vehicles in 1/35 scale. 😕

This Snatch is the same as those sent out to Op. Telic and Herrick. There were some changes under the bonnet but I left that to the REME! The figures would take a heck of a lot to convert them to Op. Banner though. It just wouldn’t be worth the effort. I think Dragon’s (?) British Troops had British Soldiers with chest webbing, no radios or glasses moulded in. That would give a better ‘image’ of the Troops on Op Banner. Happy modelling! Ian Edit: the rear seats aren’t correct in that the wheel arch came up between the two seats and there was a gap the same width as the seats. Often used as a spare seat but not officially!

I've done a quick scan, and the scale seems largely dead. However there is a new 3D printed kit company making this scale and Tamiya has just started pairing vehicles with planes. Could possibly go with a Buccaneer or a Lynx

@TrigmaotionCoUk: Not so sure.... Tamiya have released a number of 1/48th AFV kits that seem pretty popular; They have a recent 1/48th Challenger II in desert scheme, and this Airfix kit would look great alongside it in a diorama.... 😉 Tamiya have a number of very good looking WWII armour in this scale too - it seems to go down well, so although it's not the normal 1/35th, it's still a decently detailed scale to work in, which takes up a lot less space too!! 👍
