Gevarm Frence Jeep Model on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Roger Martin shared this French jeep with a Gevarm mark on its underside. I haven’t seen another one of these. Given the box shows the jeep 1) in olive drab, 2) with a trailer, and 3) with armaments, I am wondering if this jeep should have those extras and be painted olive drab?
