Jeep MB

Just finished this Italeri Jeep MB to accompany the Diamond T wrecker. Some adjustments and changes were made during the build. I substituted some brass for plastic here and there and left off any indication of it being a fire Jeep. In addition to all of the fire related items they did include the back seat and the top. I used the back seat but made a new top.

The top is made of two ply facial tissue initially painted with white glue/water mix over the plastic top. After the tissue dried it was removed from the plastic and the brass V-shaped brackets were glued to the underside. The top was painted with Tamiya OD the same as the Jeep itself. The color is slightly lighter which sets it off from the rest of the build.

The radio is just a compilation of odd stuff from the parts box. The antenna is 28 gage craft wire.
It's pretty small in comparision to the Diamond T.
