Armored Jeep Interest?

I've been toying with the idea to make a few mod kits for the various 1:18 diecast Willys jeeps that have been made over the years. These jeeps are readily available on the shelf at Meijer and on Amazon or ebay for around $25-30.

The kit would be two armor pieces that would allow you to make this:

I estimate the cost would be $15 for the kit.

Is anyone interested in this kind of jeep?

It's a great idea Grunt!

I'm sure they going to look fantastic on the 1/18 Jeeps

I'd take a kit Grunt, first time I've seen an armored jeep.

A few more tweaks but I’m getting close.

Looking good, are those scratchbuilt or 3D printed?
