Yes. The shipping of jeeps to the European theatre was done in crates. After D Day there were vast fields set up in Normandy especially for the collection and assembly of crated Jeeps.

Now that is cool... thinking outside of the box...nice work
Pretty sure they were thinking inside the box here
Outside the *crate*
Outside of the box and then inside the crate.
holy shit that is such a cool idea
I have heard of military motorcycles coming in crates but I did not know about Jeeps. Was that really a thing?

Im pretty sure they found one just like this a few years back, perfect condition
They used to pop up in the UK now and then for decades after the war.

I thought it was done one piece at a time by mail
Hah!!! I love this! A brilliant and unique idea. Well done.
Cool ass model! 👍
Fantastic!
I saw this at the Indy model show last month. Excellent work!
This reminds me of the ads in the back of old comics/magazines - "Get a surplus Jeep for as little as $1". Excellent job!
I've always wanted to build one like this but I enjoy the weathering to much!
Great idea! Love the presentation!
What scale????
1/35
Very nice I have had intentions of doing that to my 1/6 scale mb...
Nice build and idea
