OK, thanks. There might be a perspective thing going on some, but it sure seems compared to 21st century that it's too tall, maybe too short, and funny tires at least

thanks

The Gate version does ride a bit taller than the solido or the 21C. Perhaps due to the fact that the steering wheel actually turns the front tires? Dunno...

I like em all. :-D

Photo doesn`t work so I cannot see the comparrisons :(

I personnally like the Gates one as it`s the easier Jeep to get.

I`d hav more 21st though they arn`t that easy to get now are they....LOL

Not with Infernal Explorer running on Win 2k it won't. No tabbed browsing! :oops:
Right-clicking and selecting "Show picture" just repeats the red 'X'...

I haven't measured, but IMO, judging by eye the Gate/Solido version 'looks' better with figures and other vehicles, and seems more in scale with the 1:1 prototype.

I like 'em both! Do the figures 'fit' in them-in the driver's seat? And, any good place to still buy them?

grunt1, You should add them to the Database as well as all 1:18 Military subjects. I also like the machine gun you have added to the jeep.

Sorry grunt1, I thought that it was only for the big 3 companies.

I like the Solido Jeep over the Gate version. Mainly because of the top and the detail IMO. I don't have my Solido Jeep out, but doesn't it have working steering too? Both though need work to look like they are in service. They are too clean right out of the box :lol:, too show room look for me :wink:.

For my part I prefer the Gate version, more right in shape and with better tires (those on the Solido version are too thin).
I still have to customize mine and I am happy with the look I gave to my Gate version.

I think having all three is a good idea
does the solido top come off?
