This is a picture of a boxed balsawood jeep kit held by the Australian War Memorial. The information below comes from the website.
Description: Boxed balsawood kit of a Jeep. Box obverse is illustrated in two colours with a PT boat and a jeep with the legend ‘MODEL CRAFT’. The sides are illustrated with patrol craft and trucks, accompanied by the legend ‘Manufactured by Model Aircrafts 1 Bond St Sydney’. Reverse is printed in red and blue with a listing of the other model kits available. Contents consist of a thin printed balsa sheet and smaller plain sheet and six long stringers, all wrapped in the plans for the kit. The instructions are damaged.
Summary: Little is known of Model Aircrafts Ltd. A Sydney-based company established in 1928 and operating from premises at 1 Bond St, Sydney, they manufactured a series of boxed balsawood aircraft, truck and ship kits. The evidence of their production is based on their wartime output, which is imaginative and extensive – and includes contemporary subjects such as the Mitsubishi Zero and the Hawker Hurricane – but extremely basic and evidently restricted by Australia’s wartime austerity drive and materials rationing. Thus, wartime contents for aircraft frequently provide merely a simple block of balsa and a 2.5 cm square of sandpaper with instructions to ‘shape fuselage according to the illustration’. Wartime plans are often signed ‘J Mercer’.
I ran across a forum thread which showed some different jeep toys. Here are a few of them. Go to Toycollecter.com to see all the pictures.
1. Here is an airport jeep
2. I’m not sure if this is a ‘CJ-3B’ or a Mitusbishi 3B.
3. I thought this searchlight and flattie was great.
4. Apparently this was from Germany.
5. My sister would have collected this if she had known about it.
6. The box and the toy jeep on top don’t quite match . . . but still neat.
7. There are several different color versions of this Nicky toy shown on the site.
8. A Mitsubishi with a big gun.
9. This was my favorite picture: A replica packing crate for a 1/35 scale jeep in balsawood.
This had a thorough rebuild. The inside sure is different.
