The kit is out of production as I had look around for it
I remember that kit (though I thought it was a Monogram kit). As I recall it was re-released as Daisy Duke's CJ7.
Anyway, nice work on the fleet!

Ooooh, a tough kit to find in 1/16! Lots of 1/25 AMT/Ertl Daisy Dukes around, but the Revell 1/16 is a rare bear in my area anyways.
Nice unusual fleet of IDF vehicles!
Mike.

I had a relatively short career doing cars (late 70's). I know I built some Revell kits, but it seemed most of my 25th cars/trucks were Monogram or AMT. Remember the steel axles on AMTs? Boy they rolled good (perfect for some Estes Rocket Power)!
I
KNOW I'm not the only one.....
Did do quite a bit of WWII 48th aircraft and 35th armor.

AMT of '62, '63, '64 was so much fun. Loading the front bumper and grill area with bondo made a great demolition derby car!
I have often thought of getting one of the repop kits, but now I wonder if it would still have metal axles
, and I would probably have to research and paint it authentically.
