Tamiya Jeep


Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I just joined a few days ago, and posted a bunch of my aircraft 'What If?' models, but I also wanted to post this Jeep I did as a 'real world' excursion. This was my first attempt at both a non-aviation model and 1/35.

If found this kit to be a joy to build and someday will get around to doing another. Any hints, tips, and criticism is, as always, welcome.

Have to agree with Nev, a little too glossy. Tone down the tyres and lower half of the model with flat varnish. Perhaps a light dusting of Tamiya Buff on the lower half also?

Other than that - faultless, lovely build !!!

One of my favourites - looks brilliant. And from one that over weathers, (due to actually doing some very muddy offroading

:cowboy: ) I think its great! Suppose my love of flat fenders helps too! But the tyres should be matt, was looking at the (new) real things at the weekend (sad I know :blush: ) and they are not glossy :rolleyes: but that's one of those things. And don't forget that the average lifespan of an MB was (apparently) 20 minutes on the line!
