Default 1940-1950's Willys Jeep

I have searched any place i could think of but have come up with bupkis. Anyone ever come across a WWII era Willys Jeep? I would love to do a scale build out of one.

Have a look in the large scale section or search for hasbro willy's. If you have searched I don't know how you could miss the willy's builds as there are heaps on here.

You can find them. They're not the most common item in the world but they're out there.

I have a 1/20th scale flat-fender Willys model kit, waiting for a Losi Micro build. Ebay score.

I forget the guys name, but here's his site:

http://aluminumrcbodies.com/

He makes a flat-fender Willy's, but it's not for the novice builder. You have to add in your own floor pan to match your chassis.

Check Large Scale Rigs in the scale section, 1/6th scale "G.I. Joe" Jeeps are there (size of an old-school 12" G.I. Joe) Early 2000's Hasbro, 21st Century, or Dragon Models. Again, Ebay is your friend here...

Thanks Big Mike, that was the info I was looking for. I have checked every hobby site i can think of and nothing. I guess i probably will not start off with my Willy's, attempt something a bit more common for my first build.

I did take a look at the 1/6 scale trucks and they are impressive.

Thanks Again
