Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited V8
So i was in my LHS today, i went there looking for the recently reissued Revell Thunderbird S/C. Not finding it, i was tied between 3 models. Revell SVT Focus (yes, they had it..), Revell Escalade (Yes, too..) or the Jeep. I got the Tamiya. Still needs to be clear coated etc.

Re: Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited V8
Instead of painting the mud, try mixing some fine sand, brown paint and white glue in that order and then scoop it onto the areas. It gives a better texture and looks cool. Heres 2 from my demo cars.
