    I love the Willey's jeep. When I was a teenager my dad was in the 377th TAACOM and him and a few officers let me drive that jeep around the parking lot of the Army Reserve Center at New Orleans at the Lakefront..I had a blast. Easiest vehicle I ever drove..

    A Great Build! I drove one of these in High School. Mine was a 48' out of Korea. Someone had painted it a hideous Blue. I loved it but had to leave it behind when I moved to Colorado. I plan on getting myself another one when I retire here soon. 'Warning, the Vehicle's Maximum Speed is 45 mph' ;o)

      Sorry for the late reply. Wow, I hope you get to buy another Jeep just like the 1948 version! I could never afford to buy a World War Two Jeep. The last time I looked, a perfectly restored Jeep cost almost $40,000.00! Thanks for watching my video. My next project will be building Hobby Boss Leopard Two tank. Take care and I hope you will buy that Jeep one of these days! 😀😀

    My great uncle actually owns a 1952 Willys Jeep. She's all rusted and will probably never run again due to a transmission problem. But a very cool piece of history nonetheless. Fantastic job by the way, sir!

    Another great looking model of yours and the history behind it is very interesting too.. :) I have the Heller Jeep in 1/35, it is considered a very bad kit by most modelers, but that's why I bought it, as sometimes I like a challenge.. :) I will most likely build it for the WWII Group Build later in the year.. :)

    Another iconic classic! 😍
    I really like the tonal variation that you achieve with your multicoloured preshading technique.
    I've seen you doing this for quite some time now - maybe since the HMS Belfast? (If memory serves me correctly 🤔).
    Did you learn this from someone else, or was it something that you discovered through a bit of experimentation?
    Please give Buster a scratch for us 😸👍

      Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this is a bit more of the experimental side of things. I've been visiting my local art museum lately and I notice the subtle layers of paint used in fine art. I simply put what I learned from fine art into this Jeep. Yes, I will scratch Buster for you! 😁😁

    Absolutely fantastic work. I too have a special fondness of the Willys as my Dad drove it when he was serving in the Air Force. He used to take my sis and me for off roads in the jeep many times. You did a great job in bringing out the weathered look. Quick question, did you leave out the headlamps and front indicators on purpose?

    I drive my 1944 Jeep in excess of 30mph every week and it is certainly not dangerous. Any vehicle will ‘flip’ if the wheels are turned suddenly at speed so as an owner I strongly disagree. Fair comment about the fuel tank and you failed to mention that the steering column will skewer your heart in the event of a collision.
