This is an old Italeri Jeep Willys MB (kit no. 314) built straight out of the box. I only added some wiring to the engine which is barely visible on the photos and a cap to the radiator. The kit is fairly easy to build and most importantly it's very cheap. The parts that require the most refinement are tires and leaf springs - those require a lot of sanding or cutting. I used my Dremel® tool to restore the tread pattern on some of the tires. But tires still have injection pin marks on the insides, I didn't spend time trying to remove them since they are not immediately visible on the assembled model. I also used Dremel® tool to "shave" off some of the plastic on the rifle-holder below the windshield.

I painted it with Testors Acrylic paints and then sprayed with Testors Clear Gloss Acryl.
