TimMee Combat Patrol Willys & Artillery – Tan 4pc Playset USA Made Review

The Tim Mee COMBAT PATROL is out of retirement and ready for redeployment in the hot zone. These Willys vehicles and Artillery are proudly manufactured in the United States and available in this 4 piece set that includes 2 vehicles and 2 anti-tank guns. They feature smooth rolling wheels with metal axles, measure nearly 10 inches long when hitched together, and are approximately 1:24 scale. Made from slightly stiff tan color HDPE plastic with lots of crisp detail and very little flashing.

Modeled after the Willys MB Army vehicle and the M3 37mm Anti-Tank Gun, Tim Mee first produced this toy in the 1950’s and modified the tooling several times over the decades until the final version seen here. We’re extra pleased with this reissue to reintroduce the classic stars and serial number stickers that were discontinued more than 20 years ago. As an extra bonus, stickers include new mini-stars and a Tim Mee logo that can be used to identify your favorite hero vehicle. The stickers are supplied on a sheet and placement instructions are included on the back of the package.

This is probably the first time this set has been produced in tan, so in honor of this new color debut the manufacturer has updated vintage header card art based on the iconic USMC Bantam Jeep test photo with a desert theme. These are real toys, meant to be rolled around, knocked over, picked up and played with for years to come. Recommended for ages 5 and up.
