Variations on "Daisy's Jeep"

[Terry Jessee]

I just found some build photos for this Jeep model, so I started a new fotki album.

This depicts a Jeep M-38 as used by the Isreali Defense Force during the 1967 Six Days War. There are a lot of little scratchbuilt bits on the model including the spare tire mount, antenna mount and antenna, and the radio (actually a modified tool box). The model started out as the MPC/AMT "Daisy's Jeep" kit with resin wheels and tires from Hendrix Manufacturing. The top is from an earlier version of this kit, the 1972 "Korean Staff Car."

The paint scheme includes a big, off-white stripe with black stripes on either edge. This was an identification stripe so that IDF pilots didn't fire at their own troops.

Fun little project to build.

Great looking Jeep.

Weathering looks great.

Nice Radio, hard to tell it ever was just a toolbox.

Chassis and Engine looks great too..

Awesome work on an old Daisy..

Nice! I've been toying with the idea of turning one of these from a Jeep to a jeep.
