Found this at Walmart for $15! Love the Wrangler Unlimited,and had to get it!!
Never worked on a vehicle this scale before,so it should be fun! Last vehicle I made was this 1:72 scale Hasegawa set(not my pic),and that was around 10years ago
I'm most happy with the interior space on this beast!
That's where this vehicle really shines! The dash is detailed! so are the seats,console. Very true to the real world vehicle.
The body needs very little work to be good enough for my needs. The most serious problem with it is the painted black section for a windshield.
That cut out fairly easy. The rear door corner glass areas will need attention also. they're still solid plastic as well.
The ride height,and wheels are a HUGE issue on this truck. I have a 1:18 diecast Jeep Wrangler 2 door I'm going to attempt to slightly enlarge wheels from it,as well as the highmount rear brake light.
I say Attempt,because I've never tried to upsize anything,but a few heads. These are matched parts,so the gotta fit eachother after this too!
Rideheight is the easiest thing to fix on a steel axle toy. I'll fix that when I get the wheel issue handled. If I fail I'll just buy the Bruder Unlimited,and shrink its wheels,lol.
