1951 M-38 Ute, Ia **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was available for $3000.  **SOLD**

This looks pretty stock. It looks like it would restore pretty well.

“I have for sale a 1951 willys M38 Flatfender jeep. For sale is one of the most rare flatfender jeeps made, it is a true M38 military version, not a CJ title says M38. I believe they only made these for 2 years and it was the last of the flatfendered body style. This one has a very solid body with very minor and easy to fix rust, runs great, has a 4 cyl and 4 speed trans out of a later military jeep. has the original military axles with 5.38 gears. new guages (tach, volts, fuel, engine temp, oil pressure) mounted in the factory location. Has a rattle can OD green paint job, mile marker front lockout hubs, 235/85/16 tires but have a set of original military tires that go with it. Also have a metal top/cab that is available seperately. motor starts on the first crank but air/fuel ratio needs adjusted but runs good overall, needs a rear wheel cylinder but before that blew the brakes were strong. really a nice rare jeep for the money, would make a good restorer. please txt 712-263-zero-three-five-seven or reply to the ad with any questions. Thanks for looking. price is firm I dont need to sell it just want more room ”

Balsawood Jeep Kit from MODEL CRAFT

• CATEGORIES: Features, Models, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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’.
