I built this out of the box mostly just painted it . I added the "jeep" and "Rubicon" decals from the glue kit . I resisted the kit bashing on this just to see how it would turn out . My next one will be a kitbash with the glue kit so I can add mirrors and do something with the headlights also windshield wipers . the tail lights were hard to detail as well . I did nothing in the interior. the kit as expected fell together and comes apart easily . I didn't like the windows because they are made out of a soft plastic kind of like the plastic lids that used to be on coffee containers or the old gallon ice cream buckets. I'm using a new camera so I will try to take better pics later . I learned the hard way it is easier to paint the wheel flares first rather than after the body color. I thought this was a fun build and it didn't take long at all.

Very nice Randy! I'm thinkin' these will be quite useful for parts, as well as bashing with the 'other' TJ kit, and as the basis for other projects like an LJ or BRUTE pickup I picked one up last weekend, getting ready to cut it up!

It really does open up the possibilities. Now if we could just get one with an engine and better chassis.but these will do for now.
