Is this jeep new or is it from another set or maker ?

I was wondering the same thing. I think it is the one you get for $19.99 from the tv commercial. Danbury Mint I think?

I hope it is a new jeep, I could use a couple.

Cheers Wayne:

My guess is that it is not K&C but perhaps the one pictured below via the link that they picked up for the display?

Looks awesome on this truck.

Wayne-that is the one. I was going to buy the set and re-do the flatbed. I saw that Nick Nasta (I believe) used this vehicle for one of his splendid airfield diorama set ups. Just needs some serious weathering!

Yeah agreed a great looking set tho.

That jeep on the aKC airfield setting is a New Ray Jeep. It is described as 1/32 scale but it is actually 1/30. The only problem is it looks to squat as the tires are too recessed to the running boards and fenders.

If you are good at rectifying errors, it is worth the investment ($8 at Hobby Lobby).

Attached are pictures of modified/rectified models comparing it with New Ray "before Jeep" and also comparing it with KC
