Summary of the Tamiya 35076 1/35 British SAS Land Rover Pink Panther

The Pink Panther Land Rover became a practical choice for SAS patrols needing mobility and low visual profile. This Tamiya 35076 1/35 scale kit reproduces the vehicle so enthusiasts can craft an accurate period model.

Historical context and camouflage

Designed for desert and arid operations, the sand-pink finish helped reduce detection in those environments. The model reflects the vehicle layout and features typical of SAS use from the late 20th century.

Detailing and customisation options

The kit includes fittings for gun mounts, smoke launchers and external stowage, giving modellers scope to add wear, rigging and personal touches to match operational examples.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

Collector and display considerations

Finished models display well with period figures and desert scenery. Attention to small details and realistic weathering will make the Pink Panther stand out in a historical layout.

The sand-pink scheme is a commonly cited tone for certain deployments. Modellers often adjust hue and saturation to match reference photos from the era.
The assembly involves small parts and precise fitting, so beginners should proceed with patience or seek basic modelling experience first.
Adding crew figures, equipment stowage and subtle dusting or oil stains enhances realism. Consider arming the model with period-appropriate gear for accuracy.
Search specialist military modelling forums, historical archives and published books on SAS vehicles for period images and paint references.
