1/20 Jeep MB
Posted by goldhammer on Saturday, April 30, 2016 8:48 AM

Here is a blast from the past, Mitsuwa Model 1/20 MB......Was digging in the center storage box in the captains waterbed and found this.  Also found the old "Midnight Cowboy" wrecker kit.  No idea how long it has been hiding there, but at least since the late 90's

Looks like a nice little kit, size is 168(L) x 79(W) x 89(H) mm.

Interesting find. Are you going to build it?

Yep, once I finish the 2 GB's I'm in right now and before the sub GB kicks off.  This one is big enough I will probably try to do some engine room wiring to enhance it a little.  Be nice if I could find a color callout and english version of the build sheet for it. Make life a whole lot easier.Confused

Ohhhhhh, now that's really neat! I assume you'll post her when you finish, I'd love to see how she comes out.

I remember seeing a 1/20th kit of the M-38 way back in the early 80s when I was stationed in Okinawa.  I considering buying it but all my vehicles were 1/35th so I passed on it. 

I probably should have bought it along with teh 1/200th Yamato.  Oh well.

LMAO----I had completely forgotten Troy, Moffett, Hitch and Tully.  Has around 4-5 .50 cal ammo cans on one rear fender well, so it could be a possibility.  Would have to scratch the rest, not really my best there.  Does have a couple of rifles as well (look like M1's)

Even thought of a scene with the left front wheel/axle broken off and the hood up and a guy with a .45 to put her out of her misery.....ala Mauldin's cartoon.

I love that Bill Mauldin cartoon, great idea. There are lots of 1/24th/ 1/25th scale figures for autos but they might be a mite small for 1/20th, not sure where you could get a figure closer to that scale.
