WWII Jeep

[ezdays]

Thanks again, and yup, it's not hard to get hooked, it's fun and it's not that expensive. I paid just $20 for this Jeep and it looks like it'll be a good 15 hours of entertainment. The trolley car was under $50, but it's animated and might take twice as long to build. This is about the cost of an N scale structure kit, so it's a tossup what I like to build, I just like doing construction work on a small scale.

I just finished steps 10 and 11, all undercarriage work. I find that this model is not as tight as some of the others I build by the same manufacturer, so I'm gluing down a few parts that just won't stay put. I am impressed that the wheels all have spring suspensions and they do work. A pity that the steering wheel is fixed though. Here's a shot of where I am now, I'm just shy of six hours into this and a little over 1/3 of the way through.
