Refresh my memory... what is the UT Willys Jeep?

The 21c and the Gate versions of the vehicle are pretty good. I have the original 21c version and really like it. However, I have heard that the Gate Willys Jeep is the superior tooling.

Thanks for the link. Never heard of that company myself. It is a nice-looking Jeep, though. Looks to be pretty similar to the Gate version, but perhaps not quite as detailed. Prices seem to be about the same

The advantage with the 21c version is that it comes with the mounted .30 cal machine gun, removable accessories, and opening hood, but its plastic in construction. It also tends to cost a bit more!

I REALLY want that mounted .30 cal, but 21st jeeps are so expensive!

UT and Gate are part of Autoart. Wouldn't surprise me if the new Autoart jeep was based on the old UT/Gate jeep.

The 21c Jeeps have really dropped in price over the last yr. I have seen quite a few sell for $25-35 on evilbay recently. A sign of the times I'm guessing.
