The jeep set does look nice. On the windshield cover the rifle rack started to form the canvas to its profile after a few weeks.

The animals look hokey like they belong in a railroad trainboard. We need some dead farm animals and things that can be dropped into dioramas.

Pawel,

I was making an observation, not a complaint. If I was doing a Normandy to a BOB jeep I would get a set.

Many soldiers stuffed the cover with everything from food to spare ammunition giving the cover a bulged out look.

I own a 1944 Willys that I set up as a scout jeep. It's my 1 to 1 scale model.

From personal experience the first thing that tears through the cover is the thumb screw and the slotted bar on the sides of the windshield.

Respects,
Randy
