I just finished modifying and painting my 1:6 scale Jeep to have a working side mirror and wipers, working pivoting axe carrier and sheath, correct tail lights and trailer socket cover. I wish they'd had leaf springs on it as well as the toolboxes in the rear like this 1:12 does. As far as the lights on the 1:12 scale- the blackout light located on the fender shouldn't be a headlight but a narrow beam of light that comes out, and while the 'turn signals' are modeled correctly, they should be marker lights- small dimly lit lights that serve as indicators where the vehicle is on the road in blackout/low light situations. The tail lights should actually be just the one on the driver side, and act as a stop light, the other should also be a blackout stop indicator, with both having marker lights on the bottom as well. I realize I'm being nitpicky, but for the discerning jeep aficionado this is what we look for and notice.

Saving up for one currently, I am very excited because I collect Willy’s jeeps. And I love to read about ww2.

Man that small jeep looks sweet! And very realistic with the leaf springs and realistic axles! Way better than the 1/6 scale! Nice 👌

Hello ! This 1/12 version of ROCHOBBY is really cool ! Really very well detailed ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Looks great. They mixed features from both the Willys MB (front bumper has only 1 hole on the front face) and Ford GPW (ribbed tool box lids). Probably some other details, too, but that's what you might find in a motor pool after a couple of repairs.

Hi, Just received mine, Impressive truck and radio set. Managed to switch off the blinkers. The 2 gears are a great feature for crawling and normal scale speed running. The size makes it so easy to transport.

sweet looking jeep

Ive converted my 1/6 RocHobby into a LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) Jeep two figures weapons and other stuff looks freakin awesome

Great... I've already got two 1/6 scale ones, now I need one of these too. Very good video review.

The small lights under the headlights are not indicators. They are blackout marker lights,also for driving in convoy at night. They have distancing prisms inside that converge the lighting so the vehicle behind can judge the distance from the vehicle in front in the dark with no headlights on,..pretty scary in my opinion but that's the way it was done. Driving a jeep is great fun. Your spine pays for it though. The suspension is military grade,..rock hard !

Wow - what a great product!!!

Great truck and great review...Thank.you

Very nice looks great 👍love that 2 speed Trans really cool 😎

tres impressionnant le niveau des pilotes

OMG Awesome video buddy I love the rochobby product Very scale😍😍😍

*1/12 1941 MB - YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!!!~~~ It's a video with a useful and interesting story.*

Great unboxing and very nice details and skills have your little truck 😊👍🏁

Package concept is so good

Got mine last week from Ali ( 167€) happy with the radio with turning knops, so much more easier

Nice comparison video👍

Like the look of this. I have the 1/6 scale model and will have to get this one.

Jestli si někdo myslí, že za tuhle cenu dostane perfektní model, tak já si to nemyslím. A také jsem se o tom přesvědčil: při pozorné prohlídce jsem zjistil že můj nový Willis 1/12 má několik defektů. Nejspíš byly způsobeny nekvalitním, asi rychlým sestavováním modelu v továrně. Obrátil jsem se přímo na výrobce, který se chlubí tím, jak podporuje své modely tak, že nahradí vadné části. Nebyla to ovšem pravda, výrobce mě stroze odmítl že defektní model se dá také používat. Mám jeho písemné vyjádření. Pro mě je to je nesolidní firma a na výrobky od ní bych si dal velký pozor.

Hiya,..l own a 1944 Ford GPW jeep. It's virtually identical except to the Willys jeep. During the war, Willys and Ford produced the jeeps to keep up with the demand. Those model jeeps are very close to the real thing,especially the smaller scale vehicle.. The light on the left front guard is a blackout light for driving in convoys at night when the headlights were turned off.

I have the 1/6 scale they are awesome I’m going to look into possibly ordering this one looks better than the 1/6

Epic review Steve, Really love what Rochobby are doing with these things as EVERYONE loves them. Is there a way to get a bit more steering though? Hope it's just the dual rates turned down. Needs more lock! The canvas seats and details are epic!!! Think I need this in my collection. That last shot just had me thinking with them side by side of ones Dad's Jeep... the other is the kids jeep hahaha epic models.

Nice jeep and nice video. No, the original WW2 jeep did not have "blinkers". Those lights were blackout driving marker lights. The one on the fender was also a black-out driving light. It is incorrectly all lit up like a fog light or something. The real light throws just a wee bit of light in front of the vehicle so that the driver can drive and not be seen by aircraft.

Is this proportional throttle and steering? I know the steering angle is so minimal that it's only good enough for changing lanes LOL, but from the way you were driving it it seemed to have only ON and OFF speed and full left and full right steering. I don't much like the way it comes to an immediate halt and doesn't coast, but maybe that's the drag brake?

They did a whole lot better job on the small guy. The 1/6 is good but the regular crawler chassis takes the scale away, Atwell with all the smaller detail like the fuel tank, hood,leafs. Definitely getting one.

Uma dúvida minha...tem chance de explodir os pneus por eles inflarem muito?

All that detail but no e-brake pull handle. Still a great-looking rig. And is that a mounting location for a heavy machinegun between the seats?

Your 1/6 MB driver has his helmet on backwards. You'll know it when you see it, because the front has more of a cap style visor molded into the "steel pot". But whatever, it's probably your personal preference. ...😜

I wonder how well these will look next to the Heng Long and TaiGen rc tanks, they are 1/16 but 1/12 May be close enough.

Steve. The 1/12 scale is more to scale then the other one. I was in the U.S military and did ride in these back in the day. Would like a link to find out how much the 1/6 scale

I hope they could do a 1 10th scale

IMHO the small model looks a world better than the big one. Especially from below (leaf springs). What about some weights and measures of the models?

Are the differential opened like the Kubelwagen type 82 ? I mean if you turn one wheel , the opposite wherl turns in the opposite direction ... well I hope so .. thanks

The 1/6 scale is just a crawler with a willys body but the little one has some nice scale detail. 1/12 scale though? Weird scale

Can the diffs be unlocked?

Pretty Swick I like it😉👍👍💥

How do I adjust steering to center my 1/6 scale

Do they make trailer for 1/ 12 scale? Looks sweet. Peace ✌

Great review! Just got mine a week or so ago & the detail is incredible. Agree it needs a driver, but finding a 1/12 scale Army figure at a reasonable price ($25.00 to $50.00 US) is a challenge. I've found very detailed figures that look great but cost $100.00 & up. Anyone know of a good source for these?

The willys didnt have indicators as far as I know ?

Is this 100% waterproof from stock?

1/16 or 1/10 would’ve been more suitable scales.

hi..plz drop purchase link for the 1:12 scale..

Approx how long is the run time?

They could have given it a tighter steering radius, it looks like it couldn’t do a circle in less than a 6 foot area, that would get irritating real quick

Does that 1/12 jeep have 12mm hex ?

Ayup steve that 1/6 from banggood says it dont exist but the 1st time i clicked on it it did n now its gone was off to compare the price difference of them both n im sure the bigger one was £239 brittish pounds n smaller ones £196 but cant say for deffo now as 1/6th ones gone now lol can you redo the link incase its avin a belly ache 👍👍

i'm little bit confused about the price 1/6 = 1/12 ;/ i have 1/6 , also if it were 1/16 would fit in my 1/16 tank collection

Do you have a shop ?

WHY CANT THEY MAKE A TRAILER WITH A SPEAKER AND SOUND MODULE TO EMIT ENGINE NOISE FOR THIS MODEL WHEN IN MOTION?

Price for this

How much Rs

It's a willys

Waterproof ok no 🤔😅

She's just begging to be weathered

Nice video but No need to shout

Leaf sprung suspension is the only thing I like and wish the 1/6 scale had it. Other than that nothing...too small and too mu h plastic in the suspension. I'll pass.

😟😟

1/6 was too large and 1/12 too small Bro. 1/10 rules But FMS Wants to reinvent the industry. They failed.
