There is also the KenRay models. They come in a 2-pack.
They are heavy pewter castings, and the details and proportions are a bit lacking, but at least they exist.

Ken Ray has one. Windows down, pre painted. Detail is a bit rough. I would rate it at a C. Period Miniatures/Alloy Forms had a kit. A bit hard to find now though. This it's a solid B. MZZ/Dmented also sells a pewter once price casting with the windshield up. This is a very nice casting and very clean. A solid A if you don't mind painting. There is also one by MiniFigs, but this is 1/148 and very large compared to the 1/160 version.

Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
Then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away

These are by far the best N-scale jeeps I have seen to date:

Too bad this maker doesn't do any other US military vehicles, but if you're into French military...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try the Shapeways ones as the detail looks
much better.
