Hello All,

Have any of you seen Hasegawa's new 1/48 Willys MB "Follow me" Jeep? It comes with the radio stack for a USAAF / USAF control jeep. I intend to review it soon and I'll provide the URL.

Regards,

Fred

I haven't seen the kit in the flesh yet, but I'm sure it will be popular with the 1/4 scale crowd especially if it can also be built as a more standard jeep.

especially if it can also be built as a more standard jeep.


It can be, by simply omitting the radio and fitting the rear seat. They also have a second regular jeep due in a couple of months, with different figures and a 0.30 cal mount.

BTW, some of the guys on the Track48 forum have been critical about how the wheel hubs/tyres have been handled, plus some other details Track48 jeep thread
