Very cool. I am glad this is now available in kit form. This is an interesting jeep that needed representation. By the way, lots of the M606/CJ-3Bs were used by the US Military as well in the mid-late '50s before the M38 and M38A1 were available. Some were still being used in the early days of Vietnam by the USMC too. Most were then transferred to the ARVN and ROK forces in VN.

By the way, you are all welcome....My M606/CJ-3B conversion.

Thanks for the news, it had been on their "future" list for some time, I'm glad it's finally out, and at a great price too for a full resin kit. More photos (including the wheels) at MMK's website.

Thanks! Bookmarked it.

Speaking of bookmarks, this page I have in my files has good hi-res pics of the Japanese variants for JGSDF fans out there.
