Tamiya 1/35th Scale Willy's WWII Jeep Build

February 1, 2020 · in Armor · 6 · 2.6K

I always wanted to build this little kit! I was in-between commission builds so I went to my hobby shop to look around and I saw this kit and I had to buy it!

I built this little kit in just a few days, and what a fun kit this is! Tamiya really knocks it out of the park with their 1/35th scale kits and I highly recommend this kit.

I used lots of weathering techniques and Tamiya paints on this build. I scratch built details in the engine bay, but that was about all I need to do. This model is only a few inches in length, I wasn't prepared for how tiny it is!

I hope you enjoy!

  1. Nice! Right out of the Rat Patrol!

  2. I built one o these when I first got back into modeling.SOB is really small. Yours is MUCH better! Great work!

  3. Thanks Matt! It is such a tiny kit, but really fun to build. Everyone should build one of these!

  4. I agree, everyone should build one! They are detailed and a lot of fun. I built mine for my father in law, since he drove one as an MP in Stuttgart in 1952. He was pleased, but said his was more “shiny”!
