Italeri Land Rover 109 Lwb

The Italeri Land Rover 109 LWB (part number HC-3665) recreates the long wheelbase variant of one of the most recognisable British 4x4s. This kit focuses on the 109-inch configuration, renowned for its capability and endurance across civil and military roles.

Born in the immediate post-war years with prototypes dating to 1947, the Land Rover became a milestone in off-road history. Its 4x4 all-wheel drive, sturdy and reliable construction, and aluminium body helped it tackle demanding routes while resisting corrosion. By the introduction of the Series III in 1971, over a million examples had been produced, underscoring its importance in both civilian and military service.

Historic Highlights

• 109-inch long wheelbase version reproduced in the kit
• 4x4 all-wheel drive for demanding terrain
• Aluminium body for reduced weight and corrosion resistance
• Proven in both civil and military applications
• Origins in 1947 prototypes; a milestone of British engineering

A fitting subject for modellers and Land Rover enthusiasts.
