Full Build, 1/16 TAKOM 4X4 MB WW II Utility Truck , New Release detailed model 

Now that is one detailed Jeep. It amazes me how much detail they where able to incorporate into the model.

Got mine today .. ordered it monday...crazy fast shipping. I started this kit as soon as it showed up....im having so much fun with this kit ..every bolt,drainplug ..etc

Beautiful !! I'm seeing all kinds of ideas in my head on this little jewel. Rat Patrol diorama !!!

Takom did a great job. So did you, it looks great.

This kit looks really well done, I own an old flat fender willys like this and everything detail wise looks excellent. I cant wait for mine!

My kit arrived today to much excitement. An inspection of the sprues reveal the extensive detail which includes casting numbers etc on the engine block, wow! The molding is exquisite with no flash. I spent a little time beginning with the figure to kinda get a feel for the scale. The parts are a near perfect fit and the sculpting very nice. The figure will be a joy to paint. I am very pleased with this great new kit and also with the speed with which Andy's shipped it to me. Always first rate customer service. Thanks, Andy.

The level of detail on this kit is astounding. They even have the cotter pins molded on the shocks!

Loved watching this one, it was like the older builds because of the classical music in it. I hope you can manage more like this. I know you are busy building your business, but it was these kinds of builds that made you, I used to look forward to a build nearly every week. You're still my favourite one of all them.

Good to see you building again! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Andy. Wow nice 1:16 build!!

Thanks Andy!! Mine came in today!!!

I'm excited to get mine. I pre ordered it and that kit looks amazing.

Glad to see this is so much more than an upscaled version of the 1/35 version (which was also an excellent kit)

I just started on this. Fantastic kit. Take your time on the front hubs and linkage. Really helped to watch this video.

Mouthwatering build! Cannot wait to get mine from MBK!

Currently working on this gem.... I'm amazed on how Takom make great kits. The details in this kit is mind-blowing and everything fits where it should. If you buy it, you will NOT regret it.

Very nice build of a well detailed kit. Thanks for sharing.

Just finishing my Tacom 1/16 Jeep and I have to say even if you are not a 1/16th builder get this kit ! I ordered my kit from Andy's Headquarters and when it arrived I was impressed ! The detail was amazing. Good if not better than a Tamiya kit ! The fit was spot on and gives you the chance to go nuts super detailing the little Jeep. I added the Aber .50cal. barrel set and .50cal. ammo belt ( the .50cal. belts will drive you crazy bending to shape, but look amazing ! ) all from Andy's also. I just wish they would have added the M1 to the kit though. Their kit price was well below other sites and I got mine before anyone else had the kit ! Thank's Andy ! I think it's time for his Sherman kit !

I'm mostly done with assembly,just need to paint and put it all together, I have to say it's probably the best quality kit I have ever done, everything fits perfectly,next to no flash and great finish,can't wait to complete it👍

Wow what a great looking kit so much detail can't wait to get this one nice one Andy Steve

Great looking kit, thank you Andy.

I got this kit as a Christmas present from my local IPMS chapter. The detail is amazing and parts fit beautifully! I' m having a ball building this. It is going to be part of a diorama featuring a bunch of resin printed USO girls gone wild joyriding in a stolen jeep!

Man, I LOVE this kit. Yours turned out NICE, Budd.

I'm half way through this kit its a great build, ive had some. problems with the steering though and ended up gluing them but the detail is fantastic and really looking forward to painting it

Great build love the music too

Beautifully painted Andy.

Excellent build cannot wait until the kit is released.

awesome job Andy can't wait to build one

Just placed a big order to your website. Just wanted to say love the content. As well as you having hobby supplies in stock on you website. We’re I live most of the hobby shops have closed.

WOW! I am a old man, don't want to wish my life away BUT I wish it was September right now.

Very nice video, thanks for sharing !

That is definitely a great looking kit Andy you're going to sell a ton of those 👍👍

I've been waiting for this.

Excellent. Stunning.

Pre-ordered mine...Thanks Andy

I really enjoyed this model construction , as I made the 1/35 Jeep with .50 a few weeks ago.

Looks superb, I hope Takom will also make 1/16 Schwimmwagen, since Tamiya is hesitating.

Andy I appreciate how you are bringing all these great large scale models to us. Now if you could also team up with someone and bring us a really good 1/32 A-10 and P-38 that would be specular!

Nice Job Andy really enjoying the 1/16 stuff you do. Lets hope Takom does a SAS version Jeep with two really nice figures with it and than the after market companies can go to town on the stowage sets for it!!!

There's some things your not good at and some your OK but when it comes to military and armor painting and weathering your one of the best I've seen.👍

dang it...it is 11:30 pm and I was just going to be until I saw this...now I have to watch it as I have one pre-ordered lol...can't wait to get it.

Nice kit, excellent job.

As someone who has restored a Ford GPW (which is the exact same vehicle with only miniscule differences) i tip my hat to this model. The color you made the seats is actually closer to the true color than just a straight khaki. I did notice a couple of things that made me cringe a little, but I have to remind myself that a model this size cannot be as painstakingly accurate as the real thing. Great job, Andy.

Great kit and build! I am ordering one today! I love the scale, much easier to build when the parts are not micro sized. I also build ship models and would love to see someone come out with large scale USS Juneau. This ship was made famous by the Sullivan brothers who were all lost when the ship was sunk. There is only a 1/700 scale of this in plastic and a 1/350 in resin. The Atlanta class AA Cruisers have really lines and would make an excellent 1/200 scale kit. Thanks for the another great video and for advancing large scale kits!

Looking forward to it, great kit!

Excellent!!!…. I love it!

Great looking kit/build!! 👍👍

First I’ve seen this kit. Immediately went over to the HQ and was shocked at the price, I was guessing far closer to $100! Ordered one on the spot! Can’t wait, should look great next to my pair of 1/35 Tamiya MBs.

Looks great, plan on ordering one soon.

Andy, you should come out with an Andy's branded wooden crate to do a diorama of the famous Jeep in a crate. I have a buddy who can get you blueprints for the crate.

Very much detailed..minus the wirings (engine bay). Love to see more from you.

Hi Andy, that was excellent work as per normal, a great loking vehicle for that scale and it will look good with the Sherman, very best regards from Australia

Andy , you said you had problems with the clear coat over the decals . What was the problem and what did you use ? Your answer might save many others some headache .

Just finished building this kit. Excellent fit EXCEPT that the clear windscreen appeared a bit smaller (or rather narrower) than the frame it is supposed to fit in. Still a great kit and can't wait to lay my hands on the 1/16 Sherman!

beep beep im a jeep

Great kit and well done on the construction! I have a 1:1 GPW that I put together. The model is not perfect put pretty darn close!

Mate, that is absolutely stunning. I'm trying to pre-order one in the UK on the back of seeing yours.

preordered, can't wait.

Nice! I see you changed your mind about using just the star on the hood and using the circled star.

i cannot wait to get mine

Very cool that the figure is dual pose, behind the steer or casually behind the 50 cal. I have gotten the 1/16 scale H3 models crew for the Jeep. I’ll retain the kit figure as gunner.

I own a real 1942 MB amazing accuracy! No bar required for the hood - it rests on the windshield.

Just Ordered one. 👍

finally! I missed You man :D

Yep, I'm in. Take my money Takom.

I built one of those ROKR wooden jeeps this year and it would be great to have a side by side comparison. This kit is about the only one that is about the same scale

Looks awesome, Andy! Would be nice if there was lettering on the tires, but not a significant issue.

Andy+ this is what I need to go with my kublwagon from tymia sorry misspelled that but you get my point love the 1/16 scale model line in military vehicles that new Sherman tank is beautiful

Looks good 🏆

Snapped mine up

Pre ordered mine, I wish it came black stars and number markings for a Navy version. Thats how I'm going to build mine.

I want two of those. Love jeep kits.

Very nice.

Can't wait to get mine. Also have you guys received an update on the Border full interior stug III yet?

With 3D printing I'm holding out for 1:1 scale. Haha I barely have room for 1/35 scale. Nice video as always.

Need to make the door straps for it! I made them for the 1.35 kit it really looks good when there added!

Basically you ,just restored a jeep. But in 1/16 scale. This is the most detailed model I have ever seen. I started in models but now dabble in 1:1.

Looks great. Hope someone makes an after market Desert SAS kit.

Tchaikovsky was an excellent choice.

My favorite

Nice work Andy. But I will never understand why you practically fully build before doing any painting. How did you get into all the nooks and crannies in the engine bay with the paint? I would have painted the chassis and engine all separate. I would also have painted all the seats separate before fitting to the body.

Andy can you explain what the reaction you had with the hood decals? Did the TS 80 not play well with the first set of hood decals?

Heated screwdriver takes me back to landing gear on 70’s Monogram kits.

Nice👍.. when USMC left NZ in WW2 they left these behind stil buried not far from me.. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

Well I was finally able to get one of these ..wanted this kit since you introduced it. Just got done with tamiya's M10...a larger kit might be in order ...lol ..I'm getting old

Super looking kit, just a bit of original information - the steering wheel shown is as fitted to early MB's (they were made by Sheller in 'plastic') - very early (1942) were all black then were all green before being built with the later steel spoked wheel. Therefore the model steering wheel should be either all black or all olive drab but correctly for a 1943 MB it should have the wheel with steel spokes.

Getting there with mine fully expecting an SAS WW2 version which will really be something to behold if they get it right :)

Andy, you missed painting the Service Drive stop signal lens on the light unit below the Jerry can. Unless activated by the driver, it should appear as a half-moon scarlet gloss color. Of course, the lower half lens would be clear gloss black, as well as the two other lenses on the other side. They were all the night driving Black-Out Drive lenses. As a reward for pointing that out to you, I sure could use a Tamiya M20 Utility Car. LOL

This kit will be so popular, maybe a second production run should be prepared. like Takom's FV 432, I can't find one anywhere in the UK.

Nice build. You mentioned on a previous video that the tyre sidewalls would have detail added to them in the production model. Is that the case as I can’t see it. Thanks.

Looks like a great kit of an iconic vehicle, shame it doesn't come with a crew!

would like to see the hood decal made for showing chemical attacks.Cicle with star and inside the circle was a special paint to show chemicals were present

You could do twin 30 cals on the post, instead of the Ma Duce.

Cool kit, does anyone do a 1/16 Garand for the window scabbard as idont see one in the kit

Wish they did a trailer for it too

I ordered the jeep and plan to order the E8, but please, please, PLEASE make a 1/16 M4A1 Sherman kit!! The only way to get one in that scale right now is to buy a very expensive R/C kit and resin conversion! Thanks!

Looks awesome, best guess for preorders to start shipping? Thanks

I’m not the only one that thinks the Browning in this kit is far below the standard of the rest of the kit. Tamiya in the past has put out an AMazing 1/16 Browning sprue. Would be nice to see it back out. Maybe you can pass this on to any of your contacts. Cheers

Great looking model. I wonder if one could paint it battleship grey to represent the USN, the only problem that has arisen is finding the proper decals.

I just finished this kit. The hood hinge proved to be very flimsy and fiddly, so I ended up gluing the hood in place unfortunately, because the engine turned out really nice. But overall I liked the kit, there were a few fit issues, but overall I really had a great time building it.
