Last week I was away from the workshop and suffering modelling withdrawal symptoms,I bought an Airfix Starter Set of their 1:72 Willys MB Jeep. Little did I know that this would be the start of another little project!
The third hidden kit is the SAS long range desert Jeep which although parts are included on the sprue in the form of British machine guns and a different bonnet there is - as yet - no released model nor instructions. I loaded the Jeep with spare Jerry cans from the other 2 kits and another pair of machine guns and mountings. Added a scratch built condenser to the front grill and think it makes for a quite good representation. It’s surprising that after 8 years, Airfix have yet to make use of these parts. Watch this space I guess!
