StanGlover Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Just finished this MPC Jeep CJ-2A! It’s the Godzilla movie kit that I picked up from Ollie’s a little while ago for $12. Like most classic MPC kits, there’s lots of detail and build options, but also questionable fit and finish and tons of flash. My kit had several warped trees including most of the military parts, so Surrey top it is! The hood was very warped too so I got it as straight as I could. Paint is Tamiya TS45 Pearl White (first primed in gray to cover the green plastic, then white primer) with Krylon True Blue for the seats and wheels. Top is Tamiya white primer and XF-8 Flat Blue. The top supports that come with the kit are way too short for the height of the windshield, so I used toothpicks with Tamiya black wash. Overall it goes together ok and was pretty fun to design. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Excellent build! Kudos to you for your improvisation. That's what separates a builder from an assembler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
