Cheers Gary, I was getting conflicting info on cab widths due to the plethora of versions, but everywhere I looked was constant on the wheelbase, so that’s what I used to scale the model

I'll be looking forward to this one. What do you think about printing the cab in actual wood?

Hehe, you’d love that

I am enjoying your build of the Jeep, and plan to shamelessly copy your efforts on mine!

Only problem would be I would need to upscale all the other models and would need same scale Sherman haha

I'm doing both, and it's pretty cool. 1/6 offers a lot of options not available to 1/16, like .50 caliber paintball!

Of course, I have way too many projects and not enough time and energy, but I already have the Dragon Kubel kit as well as a 250 halftrack that are just waiting to be RCed. With all the extra space they can be a lot easier to do than 1/16.

Now I'm waiting for Wayne to do a kubel to see if the axles work in that, too.

Hehe a .50 cal paintball!!!

Any updates on this

Updates due later this week, I’ve just got a Kubelwagen so I’ll be looking to give feedback on that too

Just been talking to a mate who used a Maverick Scout to do his conversion.

Interested to see how yours is progressing as you still need a motor and servos and bits?

I've been waiting for some chassis extension pieces to arrive from China, to say they were a letdown is an understatement, they were about as robust as lolly sticks.
Plan is to cut the chassis in the middle & join it back together with some rectangular bar & bolts at the correct wheelbase.
I need to remove the plastic chassis from the body to get the best fit.
With all this in mind & at the time a kubelwagen being a pipe dream I did a deal for another jeep, this one however was factory built.

If anyone is interested in this, I have a need for 1/6 scale German vehicles lol
I've been very busy with the Deuce and a half, cutting the metal chassis is at least a couple of weeks away.

Would all the axles bolt to the plastic chassis ok or not?

Cutting the metal chassis seems a pain if the original could be used and beefed up.

How much for the sas jeep? Not that I need any more vehicles...
