ALL LINKS AT THE END OF THE DESCRIPTION!
Hi, guys! This time it's not about my never ending Christmas. It's a birthday present my friend Stefan sent me. My birthday was almost a month ago, but Stefan was on holiday and I didn't expect to get a gift at all.
The kit is Italeri's D-Day edition of their Willys Jeep ambulance. The only version of the Italeri Jeep I never built before. I like it much better than the old Tamiya Willys Jeep that was released in 1972. The basic vehicle is almost like family for me. It's the kit I built most often. In my opinion it's still a very good kit, although it's 40+ years old (the basic Willys Jeep), but judge for yourselves! What makes Italeri even more attractive is the price range, not for all but many of their older kits. Manufacturers that don't charge a fortune for a kit have become a dying species.
And why British music for an American vehicle? The reason are the decal options of this kit.
Music:
Happy Birthday Song (trad.)
Thomas Augustine Arne - Rule, Britannia
Edward Elgar - March Of Pomp And Circumstance, No. 1 In D Major
I don't own the rights for the music. If the owner of the rights disagrees with the use, please get in contact with me. I will then remove the music. Thank you!
