Tamiya Willys MB 1/4 ton Jeep - 'Canvas' tilt needed:
Posted by Hinksy on Sunday, February 5, 2012 12:11 PM

Hi folks,

I picked this kit up the other day as it looks like a great LITTLE (it's tiny) build. I was prompted to buy it after reading a magazine article where the author had made a great jeep and made the Canvas tilt look brilliant by gluing a tea bag onto it!

On buying it there was no tilt? I re-read the article carefully and it seems he pinched the tilt from the old Italeri Jeep (I think Italeri, that or Revell anyway-I'll check).

Do any of you kind chaps happen to have the suitable old Italeri Canvas tilt lying around that you could let me have. Obviously any costs incurred will be well covered.

Thanks guys and take care,

Ben Toast

That 1/35 Jeep ain't tiny. Check my 1/48 out - I even think my 1/48 is regular scale!

 

 

But yeah - can't wait to see what you do with this one! :D

If you can't find one from anyone, Blast Models out of France does one specifically for the new Tamiya Willys MB for about $13 plus shipping.

FWIW, I had to buy one of the early Tamiya Jeeps off eBay in order to get a tilt/top and the trailer.  IIRC, I had to pay about $20 USD for the kit.

Primarily late WWII Western Europe modeling.
