Picked up that drag link.
This came in today:
A 20-year-old piece of discontinued modeling history. Note the yellowed original plastic wrap. I love getting kits this old that are out of production. Tamiya hasn't produced a Jeep kit in around 15 years if I'm not mistaken. Kinda weird to see this box, which I usually associate with sports cars, especially Japanese, with a big Grand Cherokee emblazoned all over it. The detail these Tamiya kits have is simply incredible, and I intend to expound upon that. This kit isn't getting started until I deem my own Jeep finished. Or at least as close as I'll ever get. There are a lot of parts I'll have to find from other kits (a 4.0l 1/4 engine for example- probably from the Tamiya YJ kit) and even more parts I'll have to fabricate (the late-style bumper and 7-slat grille). Some parts, I have no idea what I'll do about. Nobody makes wheels like the JK Moabs I have on my Jeep in this scale, and I have no idea if I'm gonna put in the work to completely fabricate a new-style interior. Maybe in the meantime, some solutions will come into existence. We'll see. Until then, this kit enters a lengthy, but eagerly-awaited backlog.
