Don't let it's current looks fool you, this is a not too commonly seen 'Air-Droppable' 90 with the removable rear tub section to allow two to be stacked on a medium stressed platform. It was the replacement for the 'Recce' Lightweights. It's a shame that the roll hoop and FFR kit is missing and it's been 'civilianized'.

I'd quite like one for the collection myself.

Re: Air-Droppable 90.
Didn't know the air droppables were radio controlled, always wanted one myself and been close to making the purchase twice. Be nice to see it back in full military spec again

I noticed that Shaun. I was dangerous enough with a 1/10th RC car, it would be carnage if I was let loose with a 1/1 RC Defender.Tinweasel wrote:Didn't know the air droppables were radio controlled,
I think the hardest parts to find if you wanted to return it to spec would be the roll hoop as IIRC it's specific to this vehicle.

IF I were to get one the other half would be more than happy if it were R/C so she could make sure I was never late home againAR4412 wrote:I noticed that Shaun.

I can't imagine the roll hoop parts would be too difficult to fabricate if it came to it
