Wonder how this compares to 3D Gizmo’s version? Pity to see duplicate kits given how relatively little is available in 1/16th.

Agree with you on the duplicate stuff.

Fun to install some of the stuff on this:

Unfortunately this is a figure for the desert based Jeep. The Sol model and 3d Gizmo sets are for the type used in NWE





The set doesn’t seem to match period photos very well. The fuel cells in the rear are from trucks and. These kit ones seem to have some sort of horizontal bracket, which photos of the real Jeeps do not depict - they have vertical straps like used in trucks. Not sure what the things on the bonnet are supposed to be. The windshield on the rear K Guns is not something I have seen.

Great figure. The Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife is a nice touch. Possibly a hint as to what’s to come? Or could a Paddy Mayne figure be on the horizon?
