Dragon have produced this great 1:35 scale model of probably the most famous military vehicle ever. It’s part of their Micro X Tech line which includes a bunch of other military toys, none of which is nearly as cool as the Willys. It’s die-cast, which for those of you looking puzzled at the back means it’s made out of metal, which is awesome, because… well metal is awesome.
Instead of resting on their die-cast laurels they’ve made it radio-controlled too. So you have a die-cast replica which you can drive around. The opportunity to cause havoc at a military modeling exhibition by driving it through the exhibits is possibly too hard to resist, or is that just me… yes, I thought so.
The icing on the cake is the controller, which is shaped like a WW2 Walkie Talkie, so you can pretend to call in an air-strike while you reenact the Dirty Dozen at your kitchen table…
