Build An Off Road Icon
Recreate the Defender’s rugged proportions around a detailed chassis, working suspension and a V8 engine bay. Open the bodywork to explore what you’ve built, then choose the Remote Control Version for powered driving and steering. A substantial project with mechanical detail beneath its unmistakable exterior.
Explore The Engineering Beneath
The upright bodywork is only the beginning. A visible ladder-frame chassis, suspension at all four corners and an accessible engine bay give this Defender plenty to explore after assembly.
Suspension You Can Explore
Discover the coil-spring suspension beneath each corner of the Defender. Its long-travel layout and substantial tyres give the finished model its off-road character, with working components that invite a closer look beneath the body.
A V8 Under The Bonnet
Lift the bonnet to reveal the detailed V8 engine bay. Building the mechanical heart of the Defender adds another layer to the project, giving you a focal point to display with the bonnet raised.
Open It Up, Then Choose Your Drive
Opening doors and a tailgate reveal more of the completed model. Enjoy the Basic Version as a building and display project, or select the Remote Control Version for powered driving and steering.
