I believe it's a Series 3 88in wheel base. Monogram produced a kit back in the 70's. Left hand drive with a hard top in 1/24 scale.

Hi, it is a series3 canopy trucktop. Italeri do a swries 3 109 in 1/35. Azimut do a conversion to make an 88 trucktopm itus dor the tamiya seriea 2a but might be possiblw to make it fit.

I think ITALERI 3660 is coming back out this year in 1/24

I don't know which model it is, but it would make a cool build, wish I hand a better look at the U.N.I.T decal. Be cool if the plates said Bad Wolf.

We need something bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

Series 3, yes. The registration - 16DM33 - is a red herring; this should be a Series 2A FFR, but is neither.
It's clearly a civilian vehicle "militarised" as a film prop; look at the bumpers. Military LRs had a special pusher bumper installed at the front, with bumperettes at the rear.

Not really a surprise; Dr. Who was not known for having a large budget. In "The Giant Robot" they even used a toy tank.

Yes early Series III 88" with the old style 'non-deluxe' bonnet. The 1/35 Italeri Land Rovers are 109" long wheelbases and have incorrect 6 stud wheel hubs (should be 5) and deeper deluxe bonnets.

The Tamiya land rovers are SIIa but also have the deluxe bonnet, so whichever kit you choose there are changes to make if you want to model the Dr Who Land Rover. I was making a replica of my old SIIa 88 using the Tamiya kit - will try and dig out a photo or two!

Def models wheels are too new. They are for coilsprung land rovers and the tyres are of patterns introduced in the 80's/90's.
Axcurate armour do a good set and they are designed for both Italeri and Tamiya.

The British military did use stock s3 swb landrovers
. I remember seeing some in Weymouth in the early 1980's. Truck tops were sometimes used by the Royal Marines but were,I think all lwb. It is not too much of a stretch to think they used a few swb.

There is a Spanish company thet make swb s2a landies but i have lost the weblink for them. They did make hardtops, softtops and trucktops and maybe still do.
