When you fight in a world that is mostly on the incorrect side of the road, we have to sometimes suffer;(

That's an RSOV Land Rover; not UK forces.[R-DEV]Rhino wrote:I think that painting is just wrong:

Do you know what the hell is the name of the thing replacing it? We just usually called it the side by side in Afghanistan.Eddie Baker wrote:That's an RSOV Land Rover; not UK forces.
I know its OT but I just really want to get the name.

Lightweight Tactical All Terrain Vehicle (LTATV)? I didn't know it was completely replacing the RSOV, since the Ranger Regiment also uses HMMWVs.Rabbit wrote:Do you know what the hell is the name of the thing replacing it? We just usually called it the side by side in Afghanistan.

Re: Mk.19 Rover Gun Platform
I seriously doubt that. Every ref I've seen of a British WMIK is right hand drive, including from Iraq, got any refs?[R-DEV]Rudd wrote:I'm pretty sure they can and did swap the side the driver is on for Iraq

There always used to be loads of LHD land rovers, I guess because of the cold war deployments although nowadays I don't know.

Well I never, you learn something new every day. I just thought it was a cheap painting.

But the big tip-off that it wasn't a UK Land Rover would likely have been the Mk-19 on it. Aside from UKSF, the BA and RM never used the Mk-19, and that isn't a "pinkie." That and the US camo and helmets.

Re: Mk.19 Rover Gun Platform
Yeah I spotted those, just had them in the 'cheap painting' category though - Action Man box style (or GI Joe). Although in all fairness I can't paint that (though it is quite hard with just my fingers, poster paint, pva glue and dried pasta).

Stop sniffing the paint and stop eating the glue and dried pasta. It will probably get much easier.Mikemonster wrote:Yeah I spotted those, just had them in the 'cheap painting' category though - Action Man box style (or GI Joe).
