I’ve read that were subtle visual differences between the wartime Willys MB Jeep and the post-war M201 Hotchkiss but I’ve never really been able to see any myself. Can anyone give me a quick resume of the external differences please?
Thanks,
John

Here’s a related article. It’s in French but the pics speak for themselves ![]()

Phew! That’s a lot of itty-bitty details …
Lots of little changes! I’m wondering how many of those are actually worth doing on a scale model, especially the chassis and engine compartment changes! ![]()
I’m still tempted by the one below, hence my question.
The hood extension maybe.
The rims and tires/tyres
…And the turn signal on the rear antenna mount bracket (it’s a common feature on French Air Force jeeps like this one)

John, I went the “easy” way with my M201 carrying MILAN missile. Tamiya Willys MB model with FCM conversion and FCM wheels.
