This is a 1:76 model of an interesting prototype Land Rover variant that was developed by Lairds of Anglesey some years ago. It deserved better, but was only used on trials by the British Army, and a small number were purchased by Middle East customers, one acting as a personal transport for a N African dictator. It is an intriguing model, and might act as a fun variation in wargames.
The starting point was a model in the SketchUp library by ram0761 (to whom my thanks). This was very helpful, but it had many limitations, so I re-engineered the design and updated sizes, suspension and shape. As usual, the work was done in 3D Builder and Sketchup, so thanks to Microsoft and AutoCAD.
The half-track is an interesting compromise, but has not remained popular after WW2.
The model has difficult tracks; these should be printed at the highest resolution (I have used 0.05mm) to retain the detail, and with supports only from the base in Cura, or the cleaning task becomes almost impossible
