Perry Rhodan, Gozilla and its monsters, The Invaders, Raumpatrouille Orion, Star Trek,…
C.M. Taylor: SHADO Jeep
Here we have the SHADO jeep. There is no commercially-available kit of this vehic;e. so I scratch-built the model using the running gear from Tamiya 1/24 scale Mini kits. As can be seen, the model features operating gullwing doors and took just over a year to build.
