Dragon is offering a versatile new 1/35 scale kit of the famous military vehicle that was known in official US nomenclature as the Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4x4.
This is a 3-in-1 kit that permits modelers to choose any one of the three options with different weapon fitments. One is a .50-cal machine gun mounted on the front, one with twin bazookas mounted in the rear compartment and the final one with a .50-cal machine gun fitted on the same rear pedestal mount.

It’s probably the world’s most famous design in its class, with this iconic WWII vehicle produced from 1941-45.

The vehicle features a solid one-piece body tub that ensures accurate assembly and alignment.
Under the hood is an extremely realistic-looking engine that can be shown off if the modeler chooses to depict the hood up.

The vehicle’s set of armor plates are rendered in photo-etched metal to give a true-to-scale appearance. Other photo-etched components provide finer details such as tool mounting brackets, hood retainers and various straps.

This will only be DRAGON's re-boxing of their older kit, released a few years ago. For THIS kind of money, one would be better off with the BRONCO offering, or wait for the new and up-coming TAKOM Jeep...

Even over 20 years old Tamiya Jeep is way better and more accurate than the Dragon creation...

Even over 20 years old Tamiya Jeep is way better and more accurate than the Dragon creation...[/quote] YES!!! Absolutely RIGHT!!! The DRAGON "creation" is an "abomination". The TAMIYA Jeep is STILL a much easier build, even for the "casual" modeler; I also have several of the MINIART "early" Jeeps, but I STILL prefer the TAMIYA kit. If one chooses, there are A LOT of after-market detail and "update" sets one can buy for this venerable kit which can be used to create a real "stunner"...

Nice try Dragon but no cigar. You noticed when you search E-Bay for jeep kits it's Tamiya or Italeri 99% of the time. I really hope Takom jeep kit lands right in between Tamiya and Bronco's jeep kits. Easy to build and a little more detail. Dave M
