mikemodeler Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Once upon a time there was a resin caster who offered up that half cab and doors, I believe he was out of TN, may have been AF/X Resin? I bought one at a show. Straight re-pop of what was in the original MPC kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Here is a built up kit with the half cab on eBay, currently at $24. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285030537390?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3D1ab9101bf9ac47648c15908f5dfd8d91%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D144616951761%26itm%3D285030537390%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2351460%26brand%3DMPC&_trksid=p2351460.c100667.m2042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 With the BushWacker Jeep being reissued, I would be willing to lend a resin caster one of these half cabs to cast. The snow plow is available thru Olson Bros but I could supply one to the caster if enough demand is out there for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nice red Jeep pictured above is a CJ5. The door are what tells you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 That is a cj5 for sure. Just use some card stock to get the lower profile. if you are having a hard time getting it to match try masking tape pushed into the grove. Take a pen or pencil to mark the profile , peel tape off and and place on the card stock of plastic and cut away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
