Repost of my build thread of the 1/35 Scale Tamiya WW2 Jeep that I began on January 11, 2026.

This is the version I'm building:

Started gluing! (From January 20th).

Some priming and painting started! I think the Tamiya Olive Drab looks a bit too dark. I have Model Master Acrylic that looks better or I could mix a bit of yellow Tamiya into the OD.

I haven't been keeping up with posting my progress so here is an image dump of what's been going on with the jeep. As of these shots I still have work to do on the wheels / tires before they can be glued on and some touch up painting on the vehicle itself before I can get the rest of the bits together. At least there are only about half a dozen decals!

Hey, guys!

Started on the white fenders for this version.

Just needs the "glass".

Looking good. Not being a rivet counting nerd, just trying to help, you may want to paint the black/rubber on the windshield wipers before you add the glass. Nice work on the rifle and colors of the seat cushions.

Thank you for the heads up - I never gave the wipers a thought!

How to make a simple subject very interesting, lots of clean work going on here

Nice work. You dont realise how small the kit is from the photos, its a good clean build

Coming along nicely as they say.

Getting so much closer to the end!
Most of the little parts are on - but NOT the side view mirror.

Wheels are on!

It looks great and still a few details to do, but almost there.
If your going to add the figure I hope the steering wheel isn't fixed in place.

Oh, it is! I may have left off the side mirror but I still wanted a little danger in my life. The figure JUST fits behind it. If I'm careful.

You driver has really lost his mind over this wonderful build

Great work so far

That's coming along really nicely

Just don't trust that pesky mirror - it'll pretend it's your friend and then <ping>
