Hi all, will most likely get this kit. I have the previously shown wasp on order.

My reasoning for getting this are:

1, it's a jeep
2. I can use the driver figure in a GAZ 67 in a Korean war diorama
3 I can re-use Mao with a different head.

Silly side note, in the 1990's British comedy duo Baddiel and Skinner had a pet cat called Chairman Meow. Whenever I hear Mao that is the first thing I think of.

Regards Jason

There was a spoof on the Kennedy presidency, my Mother got the record way back in 1962 or so, that had Kennedy hosting a lunch party, and everyone was ordering sandwiches.

When Chian Kai-Shek made his order Kennedy asked:

Do you want mayo with that?

And Chian replied:

Please, not to mention that name!

Funny but sad.

I believe ICM or somebody has a passenger car kit with none other than Joseph Stalin standing next to it.

It seems silly to object to models of evil people when they in fact existed and did things. Not everybody loves Robert E. Lee either, and there was far less love for him 100 years ago.

Looks nice. So, is that Stalin after his last purge, when there was no one left alive in Russia to be paranoid about?
