no, it's been mentioned a few times on here. I think there is some question with the scale.....may be 1/20 and not really 1/18.

it was the other jeep (special forces jeep) that was listed as both 1/18 and 1/20 scale. ive seen that one only listed as 1/18, though i havent verified it (dont have one)...

I remember this exact jeep being posted here about a year or so ago. It also appears quite frequently on Ebay. There is another version of the same jeep that is covered, which makes it look like a van in that series. The problem is, if you live in Europe or the Americas, it is very expensive if you look at the original cost and shipping from Asia. I beleive that the scale is 1:18 and have not heard of anything different.

OK I bought it so I'll post measurements and pics with some xd guys when I get it and perhaps offer it for trade.

OK first a comparison pic with the Gate Willys jeep. It's heayy, 600grams compared to 350 for the gate.
Theres a spare tyre in the trunk, the sun visors fold, the steering wheel turns the front wheels. I even squeezed in an xd driver (no boots).
doors and bonnet open

Seeing more eBay dealers getting these, all around $50

Check this guy out - didn't know the Chinese had copied the Hummer already

In the late 1980's (under the Regan administration), the US provided Humvees and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to China to combat drug production.

AM General also provides parts to both the DongFeng Motors and the Shenyang Aircraft Co., the two companies to show pictures of Chinese Humvees coming off the assembly line.
