Winter Build #2 "Project Full Metal Jacket"

[Kylar]

This build might be a little slow, but ill make sure to update and take pics.


Here is the Base of the Project! I was lucky enough to find this really cool military jeep. It already has a ton of built in scale items! The Body is completely made of metal, i think its tin. It feels pretty durable, and its actually not too too heavy.

That is bad ass! And its not a Jeep

[Kylar]

Thanks guys! If its not a Jeep what is it? My knowledge of early military vehicles isnt very good...lol

I have a few ideas in mind for a chassis. Im debating leaf vs 4 link, and what axles i want to use. Probably going to be TLT or losi mrc's

At a quess I'd say it's a Land Rover Series II (or IIA) LWB manufactured from 1958 to 1968.
The best 4 x 4 x far.

Great find. What is the wheelbase and width?

Thanks, but I didnt build it, i wish i had the tools and skills to make something like this. I was lucky enough to find it, and bought it.
I am however going to transform it into a working rc scaler though
