I built the Tamiya SAS jeep while serving in Lebanon in 1989. It was glued and brush painted while sitting in an OP in the midle of nowhere and I remember being pretty proud of it when finished. This time it will be a bit more advanced…

Looks like you are all set up

I´m enjoying the build so far. The Black Dog conversion kit seams to have enough parts for two vehicles, but due to some bad moldings I guess I can save enough parts for one.

Mona
looking forward to seeing more of this build 🙂

Tini Hendriks
I build one too, it is a gorgeous little gem. Do you add figures?

Erik Torp
I have some figures so we will see, Tini.

Guy Rump
Looking good Erik, following. 👍

I loved Tamiyas Jeep with some PE (although I'd prefer the one from Aber). I am anxious what you make out of this. Keep the pics coming.

Spanjaard
very interesting, i am certainly in

Having fun building this small kit I ordered the Dragon desert raider kit as well. It should give me some figures and weapons which is needed. I guess there will be some more SAS jeeps in the future…

Tini Hendriks
Yes, definitely infected by the desert virus… 😉

Michael Kohl
Allow me to suggest to bend the front wheels at least a little bit, as this looks much more dynamic.

Erik Torp
@Michael: Be carefull what you wish for... You might get it... 😉

Love the little jeep

I also bought a Black Dog accessory kit for the Willys, I found 2 front bumpers because one was cast badly, also the wheels with snow/sand chains are a bit coarse, I also have the ones from the Panzer Art and the Def Model , nothing to see, a whole other subtlety.

David Taylor
Looks good.

I got the Dragon SAS Desert Raiders kit in the mail today, and it looks very good. The jeeps are more detailed than the Tamiya jeep I´m using for this project and the guns are way better than what you get in the Black Dog kit. Only thing missing in the Dragon kit is personal stowage like boxes, satchels etc, but there are lots of AM products to fix this issue.

Erik Torp
And for the Black Dog kit… This review says it all…

Wow, that's bad !!! Did you buy directly from their website ? Did you try to communicate with theeir customers service ? I am really surprised by the very poor quality of this set... I have 15 Black Dog kits in my stash (conversion sets, accessories and figs) and they are all well casted. In one set (T35032 Pz.Kpfw. II Ausf C), handles of the jerrycans were missing. I sent them an email and 10 days later, I received the missing parts + one complete same set...

Erik Torp
@Jean-Louis, I have also several other Black Dog kits and they have all been great. And no, I did not contact customer support, I´m more of a «If you buy it, you build it guy». The result will be okay unless you really start to study it, and it is a modelling challenge to make something ok out of rubbish 😁

Erik Torp
The build and basic paint is finished. Now to the fun part (and figures…😖)

Erik Torp
I have finished the Jeep. Still got some crew and the base left to do.

Erik Torp
Finished! I made a simple base from a box of dried figs with a thin layer of DAS clay and a bit of sand and rocks. Fuel barrel and Jerry can from Tamiya.

Michael Kohl
I like it

Stefan Fraundorfer
A very well done dio with spectacular photos.

Neuling
I fully agree with Stefan. And like Michael: I like it too!

David Taylor
Nailed it Erik.

Guy Rump
Very impressive Erik, great build, dio and figures. Congrats. 👍

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful, congrats!

Rui S
Indeed beautiful work 👍

Erik Torp
Thank you for all the nice comments guys. This was a fun build and for once it did not take me years to finish a 1/35 kit. 😁

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and presentation.

Kyle DeHart
Nice work and dio

Spanjaard
Excellent job. I really like how you placed the figures

Dominik Weitzer
