Hi all
Some of the latest to drive off the Work desk. It's the Tamiya Jeep almost OOB.
Please do comment
Jacob

Looks nice, the Tamiya kits builds good OOTB.

The late spoke steering wheels were made with a green plastic material. Even in the hot Arizona summer sun it does not get too hot to handle.

Hi Jacob

Maybe add some foil strips to the bags, and for mine I use a very sharp #11 blade to cut and separate the windshild slide.

Regards from the south

On Willys MBs, the engine area was mostly OD and black with a silver hose clamp sprinkled in for color.


Ford GPWs had Ford Grey engine blocks with the rest OD and black.

Really like the treatment on the shovel. I'm never satisfied trying to paint rusty/dirty bare metal. Do you start off with a matte gray as metal base?
