Nice scratchbuilt modification to the turret! What goes in the hole on the left side?
Coming along nicely! The mid-engine mount has precedents, so is very believable.
Dang this looks good ... far better that original, inny/outy ZTL-11 turret!Good call on going more ST-1 for the turret on this hull. Thanks too for the in-process photos
Digital camouflage combined with bright wide whitewall tires. Hmmm....
Very nice scratch work on the mods.I see the Chinese appear to be using old stock ATGM's by plonking on a rail hung on the side of the turret. Clearly have never plowed through the bush with that mounted. There would be a L & D report at the end of the exercise for a lost missile and bent launch rail.More than likely a parade fixture only, like the white wall tyres. Looks good in the Defence Publications
Excellent surgery, one might add! As always, very interested to see where this one goes, Ramba!
'There and back again." Wow ... that's some surgery!
This is looking to be off to a good start! The HMMWV wheels/tires certanily give this vehicle a more rugged off-road/cross country look.

Good call Guy/Old Wombat. Raising the suspension just a bit should give the tires a bit more wiggle room.
Almost all 1/35 Land Rovers are from the original Italeri molds (except Tamiya). Those tires looks great! I think it should be fairly easy to raise the suspension or drop the axle attachment. Are you going to add a head (or statue head) to the fender?
The real deal probably has its suspension raised a couple of inches, you may want to try to simulate that somehow.
The raised suspension looks much better!I meant the head (hopefully not real) on the fender/brush guard/cow catcher in this picture:
