The Unimog Wheelie (83419) . . . I like!

Looks like a Lunchbox chassis  . . . comes pre-painted in green yellow, blue or red.

And it's available at stellamodels.com for $155.

I was corresponding with CIMG4529 from tamiyablog.com about how he cut the rear bed to fit the Willy but somehow he never got around to showing the pics of how he did it from the image below. Yes, that's a Mini 4WD on the roof.

 I thnk tamiya did not even shorten the rear bed in the new Wheelie.

This guy put it in a Willy chassis so he had to shorten it.

Status: offline 		Tamiya used to have a page at its own website on converting a WW2 into a Willy's Wheeler (modern edition)..

Tamiya released a re-re of the Wheeler shell a few years ago, in very limited amount.. (I have one somewhere.. ha!) And then all you need are wheels/tires from their kids line model, some body mounts parts tree, and that's about it.. but obviously the hardest part is to source the shell..

Status: offline 		At first from the pic, I thought the Farm King has the same front tires as the regular WW-2 and over-sized rear tires.. but it turned out that the front tires are 97mm unit (I think from TLT? Looks kind of like it).. so it has smaller front tires... ha!
