Camp Fuji is a USMC CATC (Combined Arms Training enter) situated 2.5 miles from the base of its namesake Mount Fuji in Japan. Camp Fuji is only one of several camps that form the Camp Butler complex sitting next to the JGSDF Camp Takigahara. Camp Butler originally was used by the U.S. Army as a training area and later as a staging location for the Korean Conflict. In 1953 the Camp was turned over to the USMC. Camp Butler and Camp Takigahara was the same area used 800 years earlier to train Samurai warriors. Designed to replace the M38 Jeep, the M151 was first produced in 1959. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc. Hobby Master's 1:48 scale Jeep packs a lot of scale detail into a small package. The chassis and drive train is constructed almost entirely in diecast metal providing a nice weighted feel to the model. The interior features a pad-printed instrument panel, separately painted seat cushions and scale steering wheel and transmission gear-shifts levers. Each release highlights a variety of cabin equipment configurations such as a center mounted machine gun, open or closed ragtop and rear mounted radio equipment (See Photos). Separately applied battlefield equipment includes shovels, hatchets, jerry cans and a spare tire. Underneath the model the drive train and leaf-spring suspension are clearly visible. © Copyright 2003-2022 The Flying Mule, Inc.
