This is an amazing Jeep. The WillysJeep MB is a versatile vehicle that is wonderful for off roading. This Jeep can last you more than 60 years. This is not for Sports car fanatics. This truck is not meant to go very fast but it is tough and is my favorite vehicle. The Jeep MB is hard to find. They are old , they were made in the 1950's and 60's for the most part. The MB was a Allied war vehicle used in World War two and then was made for civilian use after the war. There are many other Jeeps that were created after this model that are almost identical. They have a 4 cylinder engine with a manual transmission. Overall it is the best jeep i have ever seen. ...

Advantages: Looks great on display when given the time. Disadvantages: Not for beginnners. The figures' heads, hands and feet.
Although this model is no longer available direct from Airfix there are still a good number of kits to be found in the shops or on-line in the likes of ebay, and in my opinion is worth hunting down. As a model it will offer enough interest for an experienced model-maker and when finished looks good on display, so will be of interest to Dr Who fans as well. (By the way, it also comes with the TARDIS sound effect when you open the door! The batteries are NOT included.)
The kit is well packaged and comes with paints, brushes and glue (although extra paints will be needed for the detailing). It also comes with a model Dr Who and Martha Jones. The relatively large scale means that there is a reasonable amount of fine detail on the moulding (such as surprisingly good wood-grain effect on the TARDIS), and this also means that there are few ...
Advantages: Spacious, comfortable, good looks, well built Disadvantages: Maybe petrol consumption, if you do a lot of miles per year
I felt I had to revise this review, having now owned the car for two years, so the original text below includes some additions that I thought may be useful:-
I had to write a review based on my Jeep Cherokee. I'd previously owned a Vauxhall Frontera, but we saw this advertised in the Summer of 2004, and it caught my eye immediately. We were actually looking for a Grand Cherokee, but once we saw this model we fell in love with it!
~ THE CAR ~
The car itself is an automatic petrol 3.7 litre V6, which, according to the onboard computer, does 13/14 miles to the gallon (Eeeek!). Although, having driven on longer journeys (than just to Tescos and back!) I get more like 20mpg, up to even 24 mpg on the motorway. A diesel version is available, which is no doubt probably better in an economical sense, and also manual versions to choose ...

01322 Willys Jeep Airfix Military Vehicles 1/72 - Over 630,000 of these all purpose jeeps were produced and used in all theatres of war by many forces. A top speed of 65mph and a lightweight construction enabled it to operate in many locations unsuited to other vehicles. Box image shows it in a typical scene on the D-Day landing beaches towing vital supplies.
