Was going to post this myself, but kept getting pulled away.

Already put a chunk of change for this restoration ($300!).

Rare to find something with such history.

Whatever happened to “Buzz Buggy”…

I know what happened to my 1/48 version, but the real thing!

… ahhh but which “Buzz Buggy” T J? 😉 The original one was still active in South America until the mid-80s and iirc one of her original WWII crew members managed to get some stick time on a visit down there, it’s one more thing on the to-do list…

As I recall, Buzz Buggy had bad corrosion problems and was sold to somebody else. I’m nearly certain it was scrapped not long after.
