2003 Jeep Rubicon

This jeep looks cool. However, the lack of detail is disappointing. There is no engine and none of the doors open. I have bought several of these kits however. I like the highly detailed Mickey Thompson Baja claws offroad tires. I use the transfer case, axles and tires for other projects. The rest of the kit I throw into my parts box - you never know when you get fun ideas for what to do with spare parts.

A well-designed kit with parts that were so accurate that many parts don't require gluing. As a matter of fact, maybe it was a bit too easy. Cool to actually work with coiled springs on the front suspension. A nice look with the oversized tires and nerf lights rounds out a nice looking, quick model to add to your collection.

The 03 Jeep Rubicon is a nice model. I purchased 3 of these to build with my 2 Sons. I have years of experience while my Sons this was their first model. We all enjoyed the build. I found on this model it was especially important to plan your parts painting (IE - The radiator behind the Jeep body grill). Pro's; The Jeep has a good design and looks mean. Tires are real rubber and model uses metal axles so the Jeep rolls which my boys Love. There are 2 sets of decals for a different look on multiple models. Well Designed/Engineered assembly that adds to ease and overall looks of completed model. Cleaver way the headlights are designed and assembled that give this Jeep a Real looking front face. Con's; 1/25 Scale - Never liked these, but seems that is where most car models are now a days. Hood doesn't open, and no engine, just a bottom end molded into the chassis. Some details are lost in the molding a little - overall not a deal breaker though.
