Is it a "Black Label" kit?

Looks like a reissue. It was "new" at the '08 Dragon Expo.

At least they are (re)releasing more 1/6 stuff finally! I just hope they don't ship it with the Firefly that was supposed to come out...

Hi Todd
But it doesn't have an engine! Makes the opening hood somewhat pointless.

Well, heck, opportunity is where one finds it! Just make a dio with a perplexed-looking driver looking under that hood at an empty engine space, while some officer sits in the back twirling his riding-crop, peering at his watch, and looking impatient!

Bob's idea has merit! Just make the dio as a stateside factory parking lot where all the newly made Jeeps are stored. Then pop the hood open,, oh,, and put it up on blocks and leave the tires/wheels off, too.

I like all those features-would love to see a 1/6th scale M-551 Sheridan!
