| description | Time ago, I've had that lucky local find of a well conditioned WW, specially the chassis (and more important for a shelfer: the tires!). But for the body I had to go for a new one (they dont have the metallic wing-spoiler...) and thought: easy job...and even I did the Lancia Rally and other 'sticker-manias' this body was real challenging....anyway, it's such a unique model and hope one day I'll have some driving experiences - probably with the old body fixed... and other tires, of course

Yes you're right (WW-nut). I thought about, and I'm not sure about the paint sheme yet..to say, you've got some excellent ones (!) which inspires me - specially the black I find interesting... thanks man, for your hints!
Ah yes, couldn't see that from the photos.
Good luck with the repair though instead of making another box art Wheeler body, why not try another paint scheme on it?
Hi all ! Big thanks for your impressive comments
Sweet, always liked the Wheeler.
I sure like it , Looks just like new to me. You did a great job
I totally love these cars. What a fantastic example!
Added to my favourites, as I love these things and really need to get one! Looks stunning, really nice work!
Right into my favorites..It's a stunner!! Super Job! ....and its a shame that i have sold mine....
Very very Nice!
i agree with the other comments.super job.
Fantastic job on the new shell! Of all the WW series this is my favourite car. Tamiya really had a sense of humour when it came to designing these models
Beautiful restoration job, and the photo's are worthy of a catalogue shot. Excellent.
Fantastic job; really like the detailing of Willy's face. This is my favourite Tamiya rc car
What was wrong with the original shell, it looks restorable in the photo?
Nice ... I am still trying to find one of these
Amazing work! Willy looks really happy! I want one, too...
Oh, and some awesome pictures. Love the shot with the body off
Classic. Still have mine to finish. Just impossible to find those tires - job well done
I gotta tell you, The willys wheeler is one of the best Tamiya cars I have ever seen, I wish they would re-release it...I would buy 10 of them !!! LOL Very Nice !!!!
Nice job, you don't see these in that kind of shape very often!
You just have to love the 8th pic.
Oh, sorry for that!
Nice work looks great, oh and thanks fella you have made me realise I want one.
