Yes, but it will be the closest thing to a 1/35 plastic model of the elusive high hood M606 (CJ3B) Jeep that was used at the end of the Korean War and into the early days of the Vietnam War. Although its a long body version, but a saw will fix that.
Up until now, you had to combine the Okuno toy jeep body with the chassis of the AFV Club M38 to get a reasonable facsimile of one. Like this great example by Jim "Gunny" Lewis.

Are they new to Armorama. I see a whole page of reviews for the Kitmaker site and 5 x 1/35 scale kit reviews.

I'm salivating over the Type 4 myself. That and the Type 5 have been my Holy Grail Japanese tank kits and Fine Molds has knocked both out in just a couple of years.

Well there I go checking for past news articles, and not finding any, thus thinking there would be no reviews. Well it is a first news article, and I knew the company had been around for a while. It will be new to someone.

Always some one to prove you wrong.
I did a search and it did not find anything, oh well. People make mistakes, and there is always some one to point it out.

Absolutely, more than one usually.
According to my other half she can only find two things I do wrong...everything I say and everything I do.

I've done a number of Fine Molds Star Wars 1/72 kits and the level of detail and fit is superb. I'm sure they will have brought the same quality to their new line....
