JimLewis Posted June 19, 2013 Report Posted June 19, 2013 I wanted to share a model I began recently, a 1:35 scale RC Berg-based conversion of the old Italeri WWII Willys Model MB into the follow-on Model MC Jeep. It's a hodgepoge of parts, but has been entertaining all the way so far. I've got things press-fit and or double-sided taped into place for photos. I have it and a Bantam BRC-40 on the workbench at the same time - hopefully they'll finish up around the same time - this century... Hope you like! Jim
Warwheels Posted June 23, 2013 Report Posted June 23, 2013 Nice Job Jim. I always wanted to build the M38. I believe Plus Models has/had a conversion as well. If I can pick it up at a reasonable price I'll get one.
JimLewis Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks Patrick (I'm a big fan of War Wheels)! Yes, Plus Models put out a M38 Jeep Conversion too - I reviewed it a few years ago here: http://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=3695 In retrospect, I think I was pretty harsh on their product, and it comes through in my review. They probably don't like me very much... :p Anyway, one day I plan to put one of their conversions through the workbench grindstone, one day...
Warwheels Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Hey Jim. I'm glad you find WarWheels useful. Thanks. Also, thanks for providing a link to your Plus Model Conversion review. Although it has its weaknesses, I still would like to get one of those conversions. And... if you want to get rid of one of yours, let me know. I have a TON of stuff to trade. Pat
JimLewis Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 Pat - send me a private message with an address to send you one! Jim
Warwheels Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Thanks for the kind offer Jim. However, I'd feel better doing a trade instead. Incoming PM.
