This item is an add-on conversion set in 1:35, not a kit of the vehicle on its own. It is used with a model of the British Land Rover cross-country car, to which it gives the shape of the WMIK form. The abbreviation stands for Weapons Mount Installation Kit, that is the package that turns an ordinary cross-country car into an open weapons carrier. The set is made by the Czech brand Black Dog, known for accessories and conversions for models of military vehicles.
The British armed forces used the Land Rover in the WMIK form as a fast, light and highly mobile vehicle for patrol and escort work. The body is stripped of most of its panels and replaced by a protective tubular structure that carries the weapon mounts, one on a ring at the rear and the other at the commander's position. The aim was not armor but visibility, the reach of fire and a weight that lets the vehicle keep up with columns in difficult terrain. Vehicles of this type are associated mainly with the British deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they were the counterweight to the heavier armored versions.
An open vehicle is a rewarding subject, because everything on it is visible: the crew, the kit and the stowage of ammunition. It therefore pays to spend time on the composition of the load and to leave free space around the weapon mounts. Separate the textiles, the wood and the metal in color; desert schemes fade quickly, so a fine lightening of the upper surfaces and dust shades on the underside of the vehicle look very believable.
