GMorrison - Glad you like it. No radios in these, so no antennas. Yup, you could see M606s with a one-piece and a split windshield. The later M38A1 went back to the split windshield as well.
SprueOne - Thanks for the compliments. The decals are all water slide, with the exception of the Archer instrument faces. They are rub on, but tiny, so I rub them onto a piece of plastic baggie, which they don’t stick to very well. I can then lift them off the baggie with the tip of an xacto blade, put a dot of clear coat on the instrument panel where they go, then place them into the clear coat to hold them in place. It works great every time. I saw the injector pin markes too, too late of course. Its amazing how much shows up in photos. Most of the time, the hood will be closed. Luckily, they are not that noticable to the naked eye.
Wow Gino! that is well executed! I have to admit I wouldn’t know one jeep from another, but when they’re side by side I can see whay you would want to have a collection like that.
Beautufilly done. I like that trick with the dry transfers too. I think I’ll give that a try.
Thanks Mike. It is pretty cool to see how the jeep changed over the years. I have others planned as well; Bantam BRC-40, Willys MA prototype, Ford GPW, Ford GPA, maybe another CJ3B in USAF blue, M38A1, M151A2 hard top, etc., etc., etc… Lots of jeep possibilities. Not lots of time.
Very cool Gino! And good job dealing with the pin marks, even though you can’t see them with the hood closed knowing they’re there annoys the heck outta me too.
Wow. This is great. I have a M38 that I restored, and I’ve wanted to model it. Now I know where to start. Oh, a lot of M38’s mad radios in them they came from the factory with a radio power supply harness that ran on the passenger side of the body tub.
