will16 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I got a set of drift style wheels in a recent trade with a chassis. I noticed they were 1.9" and thought "What can I change these into?" As I'm making my Army Landy more Ex-Army now offroading I thought about some Discovery Wheels. I've always liked the look of them, so why not! The Donor Wheels- Heres the discs cut- Tried in the wheels, in a Dirt Grabber- Primered- Thats all for now. Will paint tomorrow and test fit on the Defender. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will16 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Here they are on the Defender. I painted them silver then black washed, and they should weather with age. Still need to get some M2 bolts for them, but I really do like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was based off a Signals Landy after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yeh, the old Clansman Tuning Unit, Automatic Antenna Matching. It was based off a Signals Landy after all. That is quite cool, I got trained to use the Clansman kit when I first joined and it was a proper art. Not long before I left they were phasing in the new digital Bowman kit so I was then trained on all that too.....always did prefer Clansman though. I like the authentic 6 digit silver on black army reg plate too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysmini Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I was an Rad Op, an RSI and a Bowman Instructor for 24 years, the 'art' has gone out of military comms now. Love the build but the alloys are just so wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will16 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks guys. I'm changing them back to the standard Landy wheels for the army Landy, but I've got a project in mind that these could suit very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
