'Tis the Revell '77 Jeep CJ-7.

Since it was molded in yellow, it must have been an older issue. The one I got was molded in white.

I built mine like the one from the movie St. Elmo's Fire.

It's not a CJ-7, but here's a Grand Cherokee I did. It's a replica of someone's 1:1 car. I scratchbuilt the running boards.

The third would be my daily driver Cherokee but that was when Dad and I did front brakes and u-joints a couple months back....................

Here's mine. It's based off the Revell Tomb Raider Rubicon and is my first attempt at weathering.

Since Chris Moore doesn't post here (afaik), I got to show this Jeep gasser "Goin' Postal" that he built from a resin body:

Here are a couple of my Jeep builds and a couple more in the works.

Another Rubicon

I have not seen the Tomb Raider Jeep Wrangler Rubicon before. I have been looking for something like it for years to do a copy of the jeep I drive every day. Is it a die cast and what scale is it?

Jim, I used to see them at Target, in the die cast toys. they're 24th or 25th scale if i remember correctly. But that was awhile ago, and I'm NOT sure if they're even still in production.:D:P

It is a 1/25 Diecast. I picked up a couple at a model show/ swap meet. They're out of production right now. They have great tires and wheels on them.

They're both Proline Racing's Lexan 1992 Jeep Cherokee bodies made to fit the Axial SCX10, and they now make a couple '92 Comanche P/U's to fit the "Honcho" Tacoma cabbed, bedless p/u version of the SCX10.
