A very nice set.

The cloths of the figures shwo this is a winter setting. I can't imagine riding a jeep with the visor down and the hood open in freezing conditions.

I can't imagine riding a jeep with the visor down and the hood open in freezing conditions.

Nevertheless, soldiers did. It's only flimsy canvas and got damaged and a lot of jeeps lacked the doors and without them might as well keep the top down.

And the heater was often worthless. Dress as warm as you can and do the best you can.

A little puzzled by the random (but nicely rendered) Moose.
