Airfix – A02339 – Willys British Airborne Jeep

Description:

Willys Jeep, Trailer and 75MM Howitzer

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a Willys Jeep (Truck, 1/2 ton, 4×4), one of the most iconic vehicles of the U.S. Army. They were also widely issued to Allies.

The kit includes quite a lot options within it, together with the trailer or the mountain howitzer, which are good additions by themselves, though to our eyes the Waterloo 1815 model of the mountain howitzer is a better model, the Airfix jeep kit includes also 3 different weapons options, .30 cal or .50 cal, plinth mounted for the cargo area, and two Lewis machine guns which can be mounted forward in the co-driver position. It also includes optional tilt. Decal sheet allows two markings.

There several options in the 1/72 scale for the Willys Jeep, and this Airfix kit is considered as probably the best one, together with the S-Model option.
