  • 1/6 scale Japanese Jeep

    I picked one of these up, although it's not really a GI Joe item. It is a 1/6 scale four-wheel drive radio-controlled model of a Suzuki Jimny (sort of a grandfather to the Suzuki Samurai that was sold in the USA). I haven't used it yet, it's still in the box. I probably won't get it out of the box until the house gets built (next summer), but this deal was too good so I jumped on it!

    I figured I"ll use it as a jeep for my Japanese Infantry.

    I toyed with the idea of buying a second one, so I could put the body of a five star Jeep on it, but that's a bridge too far right now.

    Wow that is one cool ride! I'm sure Joe will have many new adventures with the new wheels!

      FMS already had a 1/6 scale Willys (which is AWESOME), so this Suzuki is a nice addition to Joe's garage.

      Here's a brief video:

      A trailer, .50mg, and canvas top are all available, too. I put 5-star wheels on the Hasbro 37mm cannon, and it looks great behind the Jeep, too!

      No extra accessories available for the Suzuki jeep, though. I'll have to make my own! :-)

        Looks good. Getting too much Classified stuff now, so don't have the room for one of those.

            Bad news from the other side of the river, Scott! It doesn't look like we're going to break ground on our house until spring. At this rate, I won't be able to unpack any of my Joe stuff until NEXT winter!
            I've got so many projects on pause right now... It looks like they'll stay paused for a long time!
