Nice color for a Cherokee Chief...

[Brizio]

Unfortunately it is in 1/48 scale... Not 1/1... But I just got this old model kit made in Italy...:D It is in plastic, and no glue its required and has open doors and hood.
Some pics...

Thanks! :)

[hayduke]

I want one of those for christmas!

[Daace]

Where did you find it ? it's just awesome :thumbsup:

[HOOT]

That is cool item there. :thumbsup:

What's your build plans? ;)

[FSJ-Jackson]

I've never seen a rear door like that before

[lost1]

No kidding... I'm intrigued!

[men in black]

Does it come with a little squeeze tube of oil for under the model. :D

When I was younger I built lots of models.

X2 on the rear door.

[fulsizjeep]

Never saw that one before. An Italian Hatchback. The little tube of lube is QT fluid! :D

[Jeepstress]

Wow! I love the lift gate. But given how much we complain about the hood latch of death imagine the complaints we'd hear about a real lift gate! :eek: We'd all be brain dead from the faulty AMC lift gate hinge! <ow>

I think each piece should come in a little wooden crate with NOS stickers all over it. Then you can bust open each piece with a tiny little claw hammer (supplied) and weld (glue) the whole thing together over a span of 6 years. :mad: :p

Thats cool! Where is the roof? does it just meet in the center of the body side panels?

[Frank]

I've been building models all my life and I've never seen this before - and I've looked for a long time. Revell offers a J-Truck in Honcho and off-road competition versions but I've never seen any other FSJ's offered. And for Italeri to offer it intrigues me even more.

I've a couple Honcho kits I was going to bash to make a Wagoneer but it'll be some time before I get around to it. Lost of scratchbuilding.

Good deal scoring that kit - I'm thinking it's fairly rare.

:lol: :lol: :lol:


I've never seen that model before either. Great score!

[Brizio]

I should scratch build a little tube of lube is QT fluid, just in case...:D:D:D And also put under it some piece of cardboard, for protect the desk from leaks...:D:D:D

@Daace, my brother found it in a out of business store. Unfortunately there was only one... :( If I found someone that can help me to make a mold, I'll can make some copy, would be nice have a Woody in this scale too... :)

@Hoot, I think to building it stock, but I haven't find/decide the color yet.

@FSJ-Jackson, about the rear door, seems that has 2 windows... I'm thinking to cut it and make like should be.

@JeepJerry, the roof its attached on the body. The body is cut in half.

@Frank, you can find some Cherokees in 1/64 made by Majorette. I have found a Cherokee SJ in 1/87, but only body. And one also in kind o 1/40 scale by Tootsietoy. The Revell Honcho is nice, you can find it in 4 version. The best one are the older, because has soft rubber wheels. There are also another one company that I forgot the name that made the HonchoStep side, in 1/25 in diecast. In 1/24 I found also a Wagoneer, that its a work in progress... If not the Autoart in 1/18, but now the price are too high...

That cracks me up. :lol:

[funhog]

Hey that looks like the color of mine. I would love to have a model of it! Where did you find it?

[jeepjerry]

Ah, that makes sense.

[freeincolorado]

Super cool!!!:fsj:

@Funhog, my brother found it in Italy. :)
