YATMING JEEP CJ-5 "WRANGLER" 1/64

A bit of an odd one this as it seems Yatming retooled their older existing Jeep CJ-5 casting and officially designated it a Wrangler though its not a variant i've ever seen before. Merely a vain attempt at making its old casting seem newer which of course it fails to do at every level bar its modern metallic green finish.
Part of a 20 vehicle set originally dating from around 2005 but found recently on Ebay.
Mint and boxed.
