hi guys,

does anybody know who makes a discovery 3, new range rover and the range rover sport in 00 gauge models. I am looking for quite a few of these models as I am basing my layout around the proposed rail link in to the solihull plant.

I have looked on cararama and modern structures in minature but neither have any

All sugestions are welcome.

I fear you are going to be out of luck on this one Alastair. The closest I could find, admittedly in HO, are models made by a firm called Grinwis, they may do 4mm versions - I don't know.

Regards

John

You might try www.4x4modelshop.org - they have some 1300+ Land Rover models, including ones at 1/72 scale, which is not very far from the 1/76 of 4mm scale. Some of these are Camarama models, by the way.

Regards,
John Webb

These are probably too new at this point. I actually collect model landrovers and so I do look out for them and haven't seen any of the models you mentioned. Having said that I am in Ozz and things take a while to reach down here.

Springside Models do this Range Rover, and they list a Discovery - no picture of it though. Some earlier ones as well.

Would these be of any use?

Range Rover Sport

Discovery 3

I think the titles are reversed under the cars, but I could be wrong!

Cheers

Dear Nick,

Yes, they have got them the wrong way round - and to make it worse I'm fairly certain the Discovery 3 is in fact a Discovery 2 - particularly from the rear windows.

John Webb (Discovery 1 driver)

Nick,

cheers for the links they are just what I want.

John It is actually a Discovery 3.

Alistair,

Glad to help. I believe these cars sell in the USA at Wal-Mart for all of $2 (1 GBP!!!!). I haven't seen any in our local WM's, otherwise I'd offer to pick some up for you.

You could try EBay. I think these go under a different name here, though again I can't confirm that. Looks like someone else is discussing these cars here, sounds like they may be marketed under the "malibu internationals" brand here:
