) I thought I'd give you all a peek at the labors of my eldest (Logan, if you hadn't figured it out for youself...)Logan received this kit as a "Big Brother" present for being so helpful & wonderful to his mom, dad, & little brother (That & I got it for 3.00USD at the last HobLob sale...
)The kit is Tamiya's 'Wild Willy' 4x4, motorized. The scale on the box claims 1:32, but even allowing for the comical proportions it scales closer to 1:28 for a CJ-3. No matter though, 'cause this thing is a blast! All I did was clip the parts from the sprues, clean 'em up with a file, and point to the next step in the instructions. With that little prompting he was able to finish assembly of the kit (maybe 30 parts max) in 1/2 hour. It'll climb a 15 deg slope, runs quick across the kitchen floor, and can handle tree roots with aplomb.
WARNING- for those with domestic animals: This vehicle WILL climb right over the average housecat in repose(with detrimental effects for all involved), and the average canine considers it fair game
...On to the pics:
The box- couldn' t seem to get the far right graphic to stay put 
Agressive head-on view...
Overhead with missing spare tire (K9 casualty...)
Top right 3/4...
Front right 3/4...ATTENTION- in keeping with a recent forum topic, sensitive viewers may wish to avoid this next picture, as it contains a casualty:
O.K., so I just needed something to prop it up and this guy was closest ...Please don't censor it!!! 
So there you have it- get 'em started off right- and watch out for those Dogs!!
p.s.- the kit comes with stickers to decorate the jeep (in place of decals) but three year olds generally like to decorate themselves (& the cat
)with stickers instead...Questions, comments, & suggestons happily requested!
