yah it is..the twenty first century version.the old one was cracked from maybe two molds. this one has many glued and screwed on parts. if you have pics of a newer one please do share i thought this was the latest incarnation.

Huh. That's strange out of all the 21st Century Jeeps I've seen yours is the 1st one I seen with Plastic covered seats instead of cloth & your grill is squared at the top & bottom like the one I got at K-mart where all the 21st Century Jeep I seen are rounded with less slots. Does you hood open & close or does it have to be unbolted to come off? Also was your front bumper molded into the body or was it removable?

Hate to be the historian here but 1942 is in the 20th century not the 21st.

hood opens freely and bumper comes off after the lower frame, but i chopped it. seats are plastic and the top is made from a thin material.shovel axe rifle and jerry can were also included.but for some reason my joe has an extra opposable digit. i'll show you what i mean later.
