I like! Are you able to configure the two jeeps anyway you want, or does one have to have the cover? Did the kit come with figures?

Monte, thank you! There's really no configuration to be done aside from the cover, as you might expect from a kit with 11 parts. Everything else (like the pioneer tools, which weren't usually on British Jeeps so I'm a bit bummed out about that, but I didn't wanna try and file them down in that tight spot) is molded on – you don't even have the choice of putting the windshield down, it's molded in one piece with the dashboard. But, overall, it's a nice kit, I'm happy with it and it painted up really nicely. I think I may try and convert the second Jeep in the kit to a British Airborne one, I am not sure.

There are no figures included in the kit, I've ordered passengers and soldiers from AB Figures, a lovely "20mm" manufacturer, they make metal figures. The most expensive ones, granted, but everyone says they're worth it – lots of people use them for wargaming, as I am intending to do. They make lots of lovely figures for dioramas as well, like soldiers in relaxed poses, tank commanders, tank riders, soldiers refuelling, and so on, for WW2.
