Hummer H1 as a civilian model.

They do have the snap kit of a 4dr soft top model, but it would be cool to have a full detail kit that could be built in any of the 4 configurations.

Tamiya is making a 1/10th scale RC kit of my 1:1 truck, the Toyota FJ Cruiser. I'm getting it for sure.

I'd like to see them make 1/24th styrene kits as well. I'd build a few of them, one just like my truck and a few optioned out.

The list is long, but here is what I have built.

A semi-replica of my 1:1 Willys Overland pickup on a Blazer frame. For this one, I modified a die-cast cab and cast it out of resin and scratch built most of the rest of it.

 Those are all very nice. Nice job.

Ordered the conversion parts from Texas 3D to make a copy of a Baja style type 1 I had years ago. As for a 4-wheel drive I would like to see someone offer a kit of the JL Wrangler. Until recently we owned a JK Wrangler and did get to enjoy off-roading with it. Personally, I'm partial to the two-door body style as it is more maneuverable in tight places off road. The four-door body is a bigger seller since it is easier to put the whole family in. The new Pick-Up body is really popular in our area, but for off road they are not as maneuverable either. All that said I think any of these would be a good seller. Future pick Up kits should be offered as either a 4X4 or a 2X4. Everyone is excited about the new Round 2 Ford Broncho which leads me to believe that there would be a market for any of these other kits as well.

This is what I am currently working on. It will be on the Lindberg F-150 4X4 chassis, engine, and drivetrain - modified to fit. I have a set of 20" tires I got from ebay and a set of Aoshima wheels that are close to the ones on my 1:1 2022 F-150. I am considering labeling it as a F-125 since it is half F-100 and half F-150.  I am a bit farther long than the picture shows, hopefully this afternoon I can get some primer on the body to see where I am.
