FMS 1:12 Scale Land Rover Roof Long Version Green Unpainted FMS-C1670

Overview

The FMS 1:12 Land Rover Roof (Long Version) in Green Without Painting is an essential upgrade component for RC enthusiasts building or customising their 1:12 scale Land Rover models. This replacement roof part is designed specifically for the long wheelbase variant, offering authentic scale detailing that brings your RC vehicle to life. Whether you're a dedicated scale modeller in the UK looking to complete a comprehensive Land Rover build, or an experienced RC car enthusiast seeking factory-original replacement parts, this roof component delivers genuine FMS quality at an excellent price point.

This unpainted green roof gives you complete creative control over the final finish of your model. Many UK RC hobbyists prefer unpainted parts because they allow for custom painting, weathering techniques, and personalised colour schemes that reflect their individual style and vision. The long version roof is specifically engineered for extended wheelbase Land Rover frames, ensuring perfect fitment and authentic proportions that shorter versions cannot achieve. FMS parts are recognised throughout the UK RC community for their precision manufacturing, accurate scale representation, and reliable performance when integrated into complete models.

At just £11.99, this is an affordable way to refresh your existing Land Rover model, replace a damaged component, or experiment with different colour schemes and finishes. The unpainted format means you're not locked into a single colour choice—you can paint it to match your existing model, try bold new colours, or create a completely custom design. This roof transforms the appearance of your 1:12 Land Rover, giving it the distinctive long-body silhouette that serious scale model builders demand.

Key Features

• 1:12 Scale Precision — Engineered specifically for 1:12 scale Land Rover models, this roof maintains authentic proportions and realistic scale appearance that transforms your RC vehicle into a highly detailed miniature replica. The correct scale ensures it sits perfectly on compatible chassis and frames without overhang or gaps.
• Long Version Design — Manufactured for the extended wheelbase Land Rover variant, this long roof gives your model the stretched, purposeful silhouette that distinguishes extended Land Rovers from standard versions. This is crucial for scale accuracy and visual impact on display or during scale crawling events.
• Unpainted Green Finish — The body arrives in unpainted green plastic, giving you unlimited creative freedom for customisation. You can apply primer and paint in your chosen colour scheme, apply weathering effects, or use specialised RC painting techniques to achieve professional competition-grade results that match your vision perfectly.
• Genuine FMS Manufacturing — This is an authentic FMS component, manufactured to the same exacting standards as complete FMS vehicles. FMS is a recognised and trusted brand throughout the UK RC hobby community, known for precision engineering, durability, and attention to scale detail.
• Direct Replacement Part — This roof is designed as a plug-and-play replacement for damaged or worn original roofs on compatible 1:12 Land Rover models. It integrates seamlessly with existing chassis and components, making repairs and upgrades straightforward for UK RC enthusiasts.
• Affordable Upgrade Option — At under £12, this represents excellent value for a genuine FMS body part, making it the perfect solution for refreshing your model without the expense of purchasing an entirely new vehicle. Budget-conscious scale modellers appreciate the cost-effectiveness of component upgrades.

Technical Performance

This roof component is manufactured from durable plastic material designed to withstand the rigours of RC scale modelling, whether your Land Rover is displayed as a static scale model or actively driven as a scale crawler. The construction maintains structural integrity whilst remaining light enough not to affect the handling characteristics of your 1:12 scale chassis. The green unpainted plastic provides an excellent base for custom painting—the material has been formulated to accept standard acrylic and lacquer-based RC body paints commonly available throughout the UK hobby market. Precise moulding ensures clean panel lines, authentic door and window details, and accurate proportions that reflect full-size Land Rover design language. When properly painted and fitted, this roof transforms a basic RC chassis into a highly realistic scale replica capable of winning at UK model displays, scale crawling competitions, and enthusiast gatherings. The long version specification extends the roofline appropriately for extended wheelbase frames, preventing the proportional distortion that occurs when standard roofs are incorrectly fitted to long-chassis models.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this roof compatible with my 1:12 Land Rover RC model? — This roof is specifically designed for 1:12 Land Rover models using the long wheelbase configuration. Before purchasing, confirm that your chassis is a long wheelbase variant, as standard wheelbase models require the standard length roof. Check your vehicle's documentation or contact us if you're unsure which version you have.
• Do I need to paint this roof, or does it come painted? — This roof arrives completely unpainted in green plastic. Painting is optional but recommended for the best visual results. Many UK modellers appreciate the unpainted option because it allows custom colour matching, weathering effects, and personalised finishes. Standard RC body paints work perfectly on the plastic surface.
• What paints work best on this FMS roof component? — Standard acrylic and lacquer-based RC body paints are fully compatible with the plastic material. Most UK hobby shops stock these paints. For best results, apply a primer coat first to ensure paint adhesion, then apply your chosen colour, followed by clear coat for protection and durability. This process is standard practice among UK scale model enthusiasts.
• How do I install this roof on my Land Rover? — Installation depends on your specific chassis and mounting system. Most FMS roofs are designed to sit directly on the roll cage or mounting points of the vehicle. Refer to your vehicle's assembly manual for specific mounting instructions. If mounting permanently, use plastic-compatible adhesive. Many modellers use removable adhesive tape for reversible mounting options.
• Is this a genuine FMS part or a copy? — This is an authentic FMS component, manufactured by FMS Hobby and supplied through authorised retailers like RC Model Shop. FMS is a recognised brand throughout the UK RC community, and all genuine FMS parts carry the FMS branding and SKU reference (C1670).
• What is the scale accuracy like? — FMS components are engineered to maintain authentic 1:12 scale proportions. The long roof variant is specifically designed for extended wheelbase frames, ensuring the roofline and overall silhouette accurately represent a full-size Land Rover extended version. This precision is what serious scale modellers expect from FMS.
• Can I use this roof on a different scale model? — No, this is precision-engineered for 1:12 scale Land Rover models specifically. Using it on different scales or vehicle types will result in poor fitment and inaccurate proportions. Always confirm your model's scale and wheelbase configuration before purchase.
• How durable is this plastic roof? — The plastic is designed to be robust enough for both display use and active RC driving. However, like all RC body parts, it can crack or break under impact. This is why having replacement parts available is valuable. The material resists UV fading and weather exposure, making it suitable for outdoor display or garage storage.
