Navy Jeep

[VonMessa]

Is there any reason that it wouldn't be accepted if one were to be skinned?

I understand that they were mostly used aboard larger ships, but they still had them and are historically accurate, nonetheless

Should be fine I would think.

I was thinking the same thing.  My grandfather says that they had one aboard his ship (USS Monongahela AO-42) and that he used to drive the "old man" around on it aboard ship and when they had the chance to go ashore

When it's all said & done how many jeeps can you prove were in combat? Most I would say were not it may get a little questionable if you tried to pass this one off.

 

I guess you could argue that it did see service  Just not combat service.

Well, although I don't have a picture of it, I was going to some info from the next best source 

This guy






That used to look like this guy...





that earned 10 Battle Stars...






while spending almost 4 years in the South Pacific on this guy   






While I'm sure the jeep on his ship wasn't used specifically DURING the combat, I'm certain that it was present while those battle stars were being earned.   

In all reality, I doubt that there is any evidence left of any jeeps that were used IN actual combat

Great pics. 

[Nefarious]

Great pics indeed!

Very cool Von, thanks for sharing!

I'm still hinting for a good British skin for the M3.  I'm not sure of the jeep is even worth doing.   

[fullmetalbullet]

wasnt some jeeps used by the commando's in the desert painted pink? or was it another vehicle.

I would think they were used at navy bases all through the pacific, and all of those were war zones. Why wouldn't it be allowed?

I'm the sure the SeaBees used jeeps in combat zones while building airfields on newly captured islands.
