Has Anyone Seen a Jeep Cherokee Model Kit?

Hi, I have a Tamiya 1/24 Jeep Cherokee in my collection which is complete but has no plans.  Not that it matters as what you need to know is shown on the box anyway.  Happy to sell. 

If interested, please contact me on frankpane@hotmail.com (make sure you title the email Jeep Cherokee so I know who's contacting me). I don't always use this forum so my personal email is the best.

Cheers,

Frank Pane.

Tamiya absolutely had a very nice Jeep Grand Cherokee kit, along with some other SUVs, that was very very nice and about the right vintage for you.  It was in regular 1/24 scale too. I remember well, they had a full page add in Scale Auto, Fine Scale Modeller and I think other publications, with the about 5 or so built models sitting on a sort of rock setting.  I thought the Cherokee was the nicest looking of the lot and was painted, I believe, a dark metallic green with tan interior.

I don't know if this is still in Tamiya's calalog, I might check out the web site myself, but they should stilll be available I would think at large well stocked Hobby Shops or ebay/online auction sites as well.

There is now a kit of the Cadillac Escalade (spelling?); I saw it at the local hobby shop last week. I'll be darned if I can remember who made it now, though.

     I too drive a Cherokee, a '98.  I also belong to a 4x4 forum here in Colorado and a few of us XJ drivers wondered this very thing a while back.   I've done quite a bit of looking, but have never found a Cherokee kit.  Only that Tamiya Grand Cherokee   ^^^.   Here's a pic of my ride:

Hi! Is this what you are looking for, or is it too young?

Bship:  To the best of my knowledge, I don't remember ever seeing a kit of the Cherokee Classic.  Lindberg has/had the 1/20 scale (I think it was) of a Grand Cherokee, in Michigan State Police and IIRC just a stock Grand.

I use to have a 4-door 1996 Cherokee Sport.  Wish I'd a kept it.  Was a pretty decent ride.

If you find a kit, let us know.  I'm sure there are some 'Kee fans out there!
