Crooked Dice have an "Alien Invader Jeep" (plus another one with a heavy weapon) as a new releases:

I wondered if the "group mind" could identify its real-world origin (or Karl could put us out of our misery and just tell us).

Any chance of a civilian and/or military driver/gunner?
It will make a change from all those Hotchkiss M201s...

It reminds me of the Jeep Gladiator and the M422 Mighty Mite. Maybe a slightly cartoonish interpretational mix, with which I am fine - looks very nice and goes straight to my wants list. :-*

Looks pretty like a UAZ-469 to me.

I see what you mean about the Mighty Mite, not so sure about the Gladiator (2019?).

It certainly does have a resemblance, I feel there will be some in Humbrol 30 Dark Green running around The Zone in my future.

Okay, a short one.

I had the 1980s models in mind, the 1982 one, while a bit longer, looks (to my eye) similar with the bulging fenders.

In any case, I think it is a very nice rendition of 1980s sensibilities in ATV design. I wouldn't mind seeing a red and black van in that vein, either.

I love it when a plan comes together. lol But oh, how ex(p/t)ensive my next order this will make.

Yup, it's a UAZ-469.
