Why this kit matters
The Land Rover Series III 109 is an iconic off-road and utility vehicle with decades of service worldwide, known for rugged reliability and simple but capable mechanics. As “Guardia Civil,” this model evokes a piece of European law-enforcement history, giving the kit both automotive and cultural significance. The model allows modellers to preserve and display a piece of that legacy in miniature form.
For hobbyists, this kit bridges the gap between car modelling and historical diorama — you can build a pristine restoration or a weathered patrol vehicle, and even place it alongside other military or civilian scale models. Its 1/35 scale makes it large enough to appreciate detail yet compact enough for display on a shelf or in a diorama scene.
How to use it
Begin by carefully trimming parts from the sprues and removing any mould lines. Use plastic model glue to assemble the chassis, body and wheels. Once assembled, apply primer and paint in your desired scheme — for example, green or neutral tones for Guardia Civil service — then add decals or weathering for realism. Let the paint dry fully before sealing with a clear coat. Display your finished model on a shelf, in a diorama or among your other scale vehicles.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
