Yup. Want one of those.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Keep them coming Paul, this range just gets better and better :)

The Saracen is definitely going to find its way onto my shopping list, along with the FV432 and a bunch of land rovers when they are ready, and I’m sure I can find a use for the wombat.

Quick question on TA units at the time...are the current minis perfect for them, or would there have been differences in terms of kit? While stationed in the UK, before deployment, would helmets have been uncovered etc?

Cheers mate.

In theory the TA were equipped and armed exactly the same by 82 and so yes they work for both.

However some TA units were not as well equipped as the regulars but this was the simple process of them needing to catch up on issue. So the WOMBAT probably lingered longer in TA and with your scenario they would have been rolled out of stores along with all sorts of kit.

Would still love to see some TA with ‘37 pattern webbing.

That WOMBAT looks great.

It is going on the "Not Colours 21" list.

landrover, landrover, landrover.........

Oh, and another wishlist item: a BAOR rider for your Quadbike. They were in use during Key Flight '89 (Tankograd page 61). Slightly late for the current SLR armed range, but....

Just released and in the shop a 28mm - 1/50 scale Land Rover with WOMBAT and crew.

Landrover with a WOMBAT for both 'shoot and scoot' AT firing and also to transport the WOMBAT which can then be dismounted and hidden, until it fires and then everyone can see it. 😆 

BAOR21 pack contains a WOMBAT and firing crew.

The model comes with the Landrover which is made in high density resin and white metal parts and stowage.

There is a windscreen which was sometimes used but usually detached.

Stowage includes the personal kit and weapons of the crew.

The doors of the Landrover are spare and can be removed if wished.

Seriously though, I’ll definitely go for a couple with the wombat, and then look at whatever other options you offer, in terms of both the LWB and SWB variants...I can use a couple for civvies as well  :)

Was thinking of doing the Queen and Prince Phil as per 1980. What do you reckon?

Personally I’m after more generic civilians/farmers etc and would buy multiples thereof, but you should definitely pursue the Royal idea as an option....the funny way these things work, it might become your best selling pack for a non-wargaming audience  ;)

Farmers with shotguns would be good and maybe some armed civvies

I think Phil and her Maj’s sporting instincts would have precluded the use of a Wombat during grouse season at Balmoral although the spotting rifle might have come in handy for deer. As for the Landy, surely the Royals would have upgraded to a Series III by 1980 not some tatty old Series II.  :D

Very nice btw. Sadly this means yet another vehicle I will feel constrained to daub in the Berlin Brigade scheme.
