Tamiya 35219 1/35 Scale Us Jeep Willys Mb 1/4 Ton Truck Model Kit

Introducing the Tamiya 35219 1/35 Scale US Jeep Willys MB 1/4 Ton Truck Model Kit, a meticulously crafted replica of the legendary American off-road vehicle that served in World War II and beyond. This iconic car was developed in response to a US Army order for a new 4x4 passenger car with a load capacity of up to 250 kilograms, which could be mass-produced. The Jeep Willys emerged victorious in the tender, beating out the original favorite, the Bantam BRC, due to its superior power unit and mechanical design. With over 650,000 units produced from 1940 to 1945, the Jeep Willys became a symbol of American triumph in World War II and was utilized by almost all Anglo-Saxon armies as well as the Soviet Union. This model kit offers a detailed and accurate representation of this historic vehicle, suitable for both collectors and model-building enthusiasts.
