BIG X Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Evening All, May I present a quick RFI of the 1/72 Jeeps I have been playing with for the last few week. The idea was to do a comparison between the complex Airfix kit and the VERY SIMPLE Italeri kit. The first Jeep is a Military Police unit... The second is a HQ 29th Armoured Brigade 'run-around'... The last one - which is the Airfix one has been converted into a unit from the 18th Light Field Ambulance... ...and here they are all together... There is a WIP here - with all the possible details you could be looking for - but if you have any questions please feel free to ask... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235037473-airfix-vs-italeri-jeeps-completed/ As always any constructive criticism is most welcomed and if you like them - you can 'like' them over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thanks for taking a look - Steve 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Ben It's my favourite too - but that MP decal under the screen cost me 8 quid in reality and it was a swine to size / print / varnish / position - nightmare. I think it's the figures that make it work - I'm really pleased with them - as they are both composites of other bodies and head. My favourite single thing of the whole project is actually the masking tape Red Cross flag - the way you can squish it - so it looks like it is really waving in the wind. Thanks for your support as usual too - I'll be needing your help when I get onto the K2Y's in the Group Build - but that is a couple of months off yet.

waylandsmithy Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 They look completely brilliant! Can't believe the detail people achieve in this scale. Although I did notice in the first picture, you forgot to paint their arms... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Ouch - a tad expensive, but does finish the jeep off nicely. The figures really work and add a lot to the model. I'll have to remember the masking tape tip as I have a few flags to make for some desert tanks. Glad I could help - reference library is awaiting the K2 build. Fairly sure I have walkround of a restored one I took a couple of years ago so will have a look through my photos for you. Definitely recommend the wee friends wheels as I have a set for mine. All the best Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 It would be a full-time job keeping up with everything on Britmodeller, so I missed your build of these little cuties. Excellent result on all of them – but I think my favourite is the ambulance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
