1 review for COBI Willys MB Jeep #2296
Dustin G. (verified owner) –
Yet another great model of the venerable US Military Jeep and its long line of variants. The COBI research and design teams have done the Jeep another great service with this model, there were so many different versions of the Jeep throughout WWII, Korea and Vietnam that no matter what the manufacturers did on the home front or the forward military motor pools in theatre added that did not work out well for the tough little off road vehicle. I have said it many times in my reviews, the little details make the model, excellent job COBI, enjoyable to build and display, I am collecting every different model COBI has produced of the US Military version of the Jeep, some of the discontinued sets have been challenging to locate but that is part of the enjoyment of collecting these model sets, the hunt. I wish I had know about COBI when they had first gone into business, I am playing catch up on quite a few of the model sets which can be a little painful due to rarity especially on the discontinued sets. Another great set added to my collection.
