    The body hurts my eyes and thats nothing to do with the colour. Really needs some inner fenders to fill up the massive wheel arches.
    The window and handle scales look really weird, as does the front, like they smooshed the front of a Jeep with the back end of a FJ Cruiser.
    Drunk they must have been very drunk.

    I appreciate that someone has tried to produce a new body that isn't a Chevy, Bronco or Wrangler but at the same time, there are some rather strange details on this one.  What is with the side mirrors for example?

    Not keen on that as a RTR but I think the Venture kit is meant to be really good and has a lot of upgrades out of the box.  I think @PraetoR might have one as a trail truck?

    Indeed! Very nice kit and chassis. Highly recommended. Especially at the new, lower RRP.
