Italeri 1/35 Scale

Reviewed by Andrew Judson

Summary

FirstLook

This 1/35 scale Jeep is an old kit re-released, but don't let this put you off, as it is still a very nice representaion and if you want to build a kit that is simple, without too much of all those fiddly smaller details, then this is the kit for you.

Obviously by the name on the box, there must be copyright issues, and hence that is why it hasn't been labeled "Willys Jeep".

Inside the box you will find two main spues with 84 Olive coloured parts, and a small sprue with the clear windscreen and lights.

Thumbnail panels:

All parts seem to be well moulded, but there are some sink marks that will need to be filled before constuction.

Detail looks to be very crisp, and it is possible that the moulds may have been tidied up before this production run.

There is also a sheet of decals offering four different vehicles, all US options, from WWII.

Overall this looks to be a very nice model, and I will be building it very soon.

Recommended.

Thanks to Italeri for the sample
