Land Rover WMIK w/MILAN ATGM, 1/35 - Hobby Boss 82447

Planned for September 2026, the 82447 reference from Hobby Boss recreates a Land Rover WMIK equipped with a MILAN anti-tank missile at a 1/35 scale. This plastic model kit to be assembled depicts a British light military vehicle featuring a WMIK weapons mounting installation, for Weapons Mounted Installation Kit.

The real vehicle

The WMIK is a military adaptation of the Land Rover Defender, designed to carry armament and equipment intended for reconnaissance missions and close support. Its open structure with protective roll bar and weapon stations makes it a distinctive subject among contemporary British vehicles. The configuration offered here includes a MILAN guided anti-tank missile launcher.

The Hobby Boss 82447 model kit

Made at 1/35 scale, this model allows you to include a modern light vehicle in a military setting, a convoy scene, or a terrain diorama. The kit includes more than 270 parts, rubber tires, and photo-etched elements to refine certain details of the vehicle.

Once assembled, the model measures 138.2 mm long and 60.9 mm wide. At 1/35 scale, each dimension of the real vehicle is reduced thirty-five times.

Assembly and finishing

Like any plastic model kit to be assembled, this Land Rover WMIK requires preparing the sprue parts, gluing, and painting. Using a suitable primer makes finishing and applying paint colors easier. Photo-etched parts are handled with precision tools; they add fine detail to the features included in the kit.

A light weathering, traces of dust, or dirt marks can then further enhance the vehicle’s operational look in the context of a modern military modeling project.
