Very nice. Gotta love an early Willys. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.
I have the Lymes Models early Willys MB conversion with slat grill and script on the rear. I also have the old Ordinance Models Ford GPW early w/script conversion. I can't wait to start on them.

Very nice. Great job on it. Good choice on paint, we don't usually see US Navy vehicles.

GINO thank you. Color is the Royal Navy and not U.S. Navy. the next jeep will be the color of the U.S. Coast Guard. I did some research on jeeps long (for a future project).
