Thank you Doog!!! Probably it is one of the most ugly Jeep ever build, above all the one with hard top on it... :) But was fun build a old kit... :)

That is quite a strange looking vehicle, Brizio--you did a really nice job on it!

The engine is really nicely detailed!

Thanks for the offer, I don't think he still has it but I will certainly check and find out.

@Bach to the Bench, Thank you! If he still have it, I can give you a nice place for parts.

@Aaronw, Would be nice if they reissued it! Above all the on with the Hemi engine. If you need a kit I should still have 3 of them...

Round 2 has been reissuing some of the old MPC kits lately so maybe there is a chance this might be one of them. I just have this image of one of these done as a redneck pimps car. Clown [:o)]

Nice job on an unusual subject. I used to work with a guy that had one of these and he had a tough time finding parts for it for sure. The engine compartment looks great.

This one was made by MPC, and never reissued... :(

This is the box art, you could build it in two ways, stock custom. I chosed stock, and the wheels are from another Jeepster, always made by MPC.

 

A pretty nice kit to build. :)

Nice job, the Jeepster is such an odd combination of car and Jeep.

Who makes the kit? I thought this was going to be the Mountain Goat kit AMT re-issued a few years ago but this is different.

Finally I finished this model. I wasn't to much into this model, so it is pretti much build from the box.
But was fun build  a model that is 40 year old! :)





Thank you for looking... :)
