Airfix Willys British Airborne Jeep Model Kit
This British Jeep kit by Airfix is a very well detailed 1:72 scale plastic model kit with 39 parts. It is rated as a skill level 2 that requires glue and painting and is rated for 10 years of age and older. After reading some reviews I can see that this is a good kit for beginners as well as intermediate modelers.
The Willys MB US Army Jeep was manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep, and inspired many similar light utility vehicles. They were able to carry and tow many loads, making for a highly maneuverable army.
