…dear tamiya…we have decided not to drill no holes in dis here plastic…(now i feel better)…we’ll keep all the extra good stuff (ord.& radio) for later / other 1/35 scale…jeffl
…we have just completed our jeep…this tami-kit is excellant for folks just starting out like me and my boy…now i’ll grade it…semi gloss blk. is not great and the worse color on tires-this we will change…primer would have been a better choice on all the plastic…other wise the tan plastic peaking thru 2 coates of olive drab will be chalked up to some new weathering effect…body filler or puddy would help where there’s too much space btw where metal meets metal…let’s not even talk about caster n camber down here by the wheel section…yes they all roll… only one tire rubs against a wheelwell…i like how we cut the btm piece from the windshield so we could lay it on the hood…extra dash piece is included… but i love this jeep…it’s ours…we…again…we…made it…and on this train the next stop is the sherman group build…,jeffl
Any pics, Jeffl…?
…i have taken pics, sent 5 emails to myself will diff.stages of assemb…cant figure out how to get them to the site…i have the instructions…maybe this weekend the kids will give me a hand…embarrassing…,kidding…jeffl
Can’t wait to see some pictures jeffl. Here is a link to a sticky thread in the general modeling forum, it should help you to post the pictures.

I think I have seen that rusting thing when offroading [:D] looks good
There we go…
Looking good by the way. The tires looks a bit shiny, but I’m sure the weathering will take care of that…! Keep up the good work!
…thank you…jeffl
