Academy 1:72 Willys MB Jeep

My first completed build of the new year (and my first in several years, to be honest). The original plan was to build a model in one day on New Year's Day to get the year started off right, but I only got most of the way there (basic assembly and painting complete, but no weathering or decals and I also hadn't added the windshield). If memory serves, I finished the last details on Monday the 9th...

 

Straight from the box except for windscreen glazing cut from a superglue package, decals are from the P-51 Mustang "North Africa" kit, so I assume they're from a US Army Air Forces unit in the Western Desert, circa early 1943 (which makes the choice of base rather dubious, I suppose, but it was the only material I had on hand). Light watercolour wash and a coat of clear flat to finish it off.

 

I'm normally an aircraft modeller, so this is also my first completed armour model...
