1/35 FWD Type B, WWI US Army Truck
ICM 1/35 FWD Type B, WWI US Army Truck is a plastic kit of the US Army three-ton truck of the First World War. The decals offer two markings. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company (FWD) earned its place in motoring history as a pioneer of all-wheel-drive vehicles. During the First World War the US Army ordered 15,000 of its three-ton Model B trucks as the “Truck, 3 ton, Model 1917”. More than 14,000 were actually delivered, and additional orders came from the United Kingdom and Russia.
The ICM kit in 1/35 scale contains 233 parts according to the manufacturer, and the finished model measures 166 mm in length. The decals allow an FWD Type B to be built as it appeared in the USA in 1917 or in France in 1918, where the US Army shipped these trucks.
The characteristic truck with its driver perched high above the engine works as a stand-alone display model or as part of a supply convoy in a 1918 diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
