Empress SWB Land Rover

 This is a test dry run for an Empress Short Wheel Base Land Rover with a pintle mounted mounted GPMG for use in Twilight 2000.

There are some moulding defects on the front grill. I will cover this with some camouflage netting and possibly some jerry cans.
That is not a wheel clamp, I just have not removed the tag from the wheel.

The gunner is from the BAOR32 Anti Aircraft Unit.
The base of the gunner will be trimmed and a plastic card insert created with the pintle mount attached.

This is going to be loaded up as a recce or security vehicle to provide protection for an anti-tank LWB Land Rover with the BAT recoilless Rifle.
