Yes, it looks like an old Tamiya 1/24 Pajero I had.

I was wondering, is that girl checking her makeup or what?

very nice. A good choice too. Pajeros were all over Iraq and Kuwait when I was there in both '03 and '08-'09. I'll be getting this one.

ICM and other Russian manufactuers has about half a dozen passenger cars from late 1930s - 1940s. I hope someone come up with a late 1990s / early 2000 passenger car for my diarama.

One could even make it a Safari or TV crew vehicle for those non-military modelers.

I emailed TAKOM a couple of weeks ago asking if they might be willing to sell their 1/35 figures separately. They never replied, but I do hope they will package their 1/35 figures in a kit so that one doesn't have to buy the vehicle kit just to get the figure. TAKOM makes some very interesting figures that no one else does.

Chuck.. did you see Takom's upcoming BMW kit? That could work for 90's - early 2000

I told Daniel at Hobbyeasy about this, and he contacted them and told them that a lot of people are interested in this... I hope if they get enough requests about this that they would do it

Would make a pretty sweet UN, TV/PRESS vehicle too. In North America these were known as Monteros because "Pajero" (a wild cat) is also Spanish for "wanker". I think in the UK they were called Shotguns. Looks like a left hand drive too. Cool kit!

This will be a welcome release for us all, for Julian the vehicle is a Shogun (please forgive my correction) I am sure it was re-badged under a few other manufacturers.

Yes, you are right - darn my fingers! Yes, I had a Dodge Raider which was a short lived "re boxing" lol. The Trooper was huge in Canada too. A Trooper would be cool to see actually. ...also a Ford or GM or Merc van, as they are are all over the Middle East..and N.America! Maybe Takom is reading this
