                        Tamiya just re-released their long discontinued 1/10 Scale YJ wrangler in their RC Line-up.  I own the original released one and it has a detailed enough styrene body instead of those vac formed thin lexan bodies on RC cars.  I wonder if the 1/24 babies will ever get re-released as well since they clearly finally worked something out with Jeep/Chrysler.

                        Dragon makes some 1/72 HMMWVs that are pretty nice.  They even have some PE on them.  They come 2 in a set.  One with the NUMA logo on it would look good.

                        I'm just looking to put one with my NUMA PBY when it's done.

                        Something modern.

                         

                        Thank you anyway.

                        I 1/72-76 I remember some Willys MB/MA

                        About the Grand Cherokee, if you are looking at kits only, there is one in 1/160 I need to look who made it, nice kit a few parts only. In 1/24 Tamiya made one in the 1993 about a Limited V8, nice kitwith real springs, and the front wheels turn R/L. Another one Is made by Lindemberg in 1/20 about a Limited V8, also a nice kit, I have one but I will not build it, so if you want it let me know. :)

                        Do they make any in 1/72?

                        Even a Grand Cherokee.

                        The Daisy one, is a CJ-5, that its completely wrong with the one used on the TV series, that is a CJ-7.

                        Here are both of the 1/24 Tamiya YJ Wrangler offerings.

                         

                        Daisy Duke's Jeep was a CJ-7, but the 1/25 model by MPC was a CJ-5.

                        About Wrangler YJ Tamiya made 2 version of it, one with open top, and one closed. I bought both at one garage sale, decent price. Sometime you can find them on feEbay, but they ask toooooooo Much!!! For me...

                         About the TJ (round light) they make it only in die cast, and in 1/27... See Maisto.

                        I was thinking Tamiya did one but haven't located one yet.  I'm sure I'll find one somewhere. 

                         

                        The Daisy Duke jeep is a CJ.

                        I'm not sure which model jeep it was,but a kit of Daisy Duke's jeep was produced.

                        It depends on what year you are looking for, but Tamiya made a couple of mid-late '90s (square headlights) YJ models.  One a soft top and another a hard top.

                        Does anyone produce a scale model Jeep Wrangler?  Can't find any info.  I know there are CJ kits but I'm trying to find a source for a YJ Wrangler for a buddy.

                         

                        Thanks,

                         Chris
