路虎：英国4×4（LandCraft）的军用版

这是一本图文并茂的军用路虎（世界上最具标志性的军用4×4）建模指南，里面充满了以前看不到的鼓舞人心的照片和图纸。
第二次世界大战后，许多美国军用车辆成为过剩库存，很快就落入英国各地农民和土地所有者手中。随后的大量使用和难以获得备件的实际可能性，促使罗孚汽车公司首席工程师莫里斯·威尔克斯（Maurice Wilks）设计并制造了一个替代品。新路虎不仅将填补路虎投资组合的空白，还将带来急需的战后资金。
作为权宜之计，路虎将在大约68年后停止生产，此前该车已生产了200多万辆。在这段时间里，它将改变军方看待和使用汽车运输的方式。从实用的通用卡车到尖端武器平台，路虎将一次又一次地证明其价值。
这一最新的LandCraft标题着眼于路虎的设计和开发，以及设计和制造的特定于军事的变型，包括著名的SAS Pink Panther、轻巧、强大的前控枪牵引车。本书还将介绍标准路虎在其整个使用寿命期间进行的关键改装。
从盒状系列1中的卑微生物到WOLF WMIK强大的火力和速度，路虎是一款不断改进的军用车辆。通过多次试验、经验教训和操作要求，路虎是一款与时俱进的汽车。
这款LandCraft的标题消除了围绕无数版本和路虎开发方式的一些神秘感。它还包括专为军用轻型和前控版本设计和开发的故事。它还描绘了路虎如何成为过去70年技术和工程发展的虚拟晴雨表。
它展示了路虎改变的灵活性是其核心优势。路虎和军用机械工程师的创新创造了一系列无与伦比的军用卡车。
本节还将介绍更小、更重要的开发和设计变化，这些变化表明路虎的适应性有多强。从专业信号线层到第一响应消防和救援车辆，再到部队和战区领导的变革，路虎是一款大踏步的车辆，证明了它的多功能性。
对于建模者来说，没有什么比这些小东西更重要了，LandCraft的路虎标题中这个图片丰富的部分提供了产品。充满了清晰的图像，该图的路虎发展，结合详细的文字，形成了一个令人羡慕的视觉指南爱好者和建模者一样。
Land Rover: Military Versions of the British 4×4 (LandCraft)
A richly illustrated guide to modeling the military Land Rover, the world’s most iconic military 4×4, filled with previously unseen inspirational photographs and drawings.
After the Second World War many American military vehicles become surplus stock and soon found their way into the hands of farmers and land owners across Great Britain. The subsequent heavy use and the real possibility of difficulties obtaining spares led Maurice Wilks, the Rover Car Company Chief Engineer, to design and build a replacement. Not only would the new Land Rover fill a gap in Rover’s portfolio, but also bring in much needed post-war money.
Intended as a stop gap, the Land Rover would cease production almost 68 years later, after a production run that had produced over two million vehicles. During that time it would transform how the military saw and used motor transport. From utilitarian General Service truck to cutting-edge weapon’s platform the Land Rover would prove its worth time and again.
This latest LandCraft title looks at the design and development of the Land Rover as well as the military specific variants designed and built, including the famous SAS Pink Panther, the nimble Light Weight and powerful Forward Control gun tractor. The title will also look at those key conversions that took place on standard Land Rovers throughout the duration of its life span.
From the humble beings of the box like Series 1 to the formidable firepower and pace of the WOLF WMIK, the Land Rover was a constantly improved military vehicle. Through numerous trials, lessons learned and operational requirements the Land Rover was a vehicle that grew with the times.
This LandCraft title removes some of the mystique that surrounds the myriad versions and how the Land Rover developed. It also includes the story of the design and development of the exclusively military Light Weight and Forward Control versions. It also charts how the Land Rover became a virtual barometer for the technological and engineering developments that have occurred over the past 70 years.
It demonstrates how the Land Rover’s flexibility to change was its core strength. How the innovation of Rover and military mechanical engineers created a series of unbeatable military trucks.
This section also looks at the smaller, important developments and variations in design which showed how adaptable the Land Rover really was. From specialist signals line layers to first responder fire and rescue vehicles, to the unit- and theater-led changes, the Land Rover was a vehicle that took all in its stride, proving its versatility.
For the modeler there is nothing more important than the little things and this image-rich section of LandCraft’s Land Rover title delivers the goods. Filled with crisp images, that chart the Land Rovers development, combined with detailed accompanying text, forms an enviable visual guide for the enthusiast and modeller alike.
