History:

The G7117 was a Chevrolet-built 1.5-ton 4×4 cargo truck variant modified for use as a field repair vehicle during World War II. It played a vital role in supporting armoured and motorised units by offering on-the-spot mechanical services, welding, and fuel support. These trucks were commonly found operating in Europe and the Pacific, delivering essential maintenance under fire or in difficult terrain. Their robust design and practical layout made them indispensable assets in keeping supply and combat vehicles on the move. Miniart’s rendition of this workhorse brings every detail to life, from welding tanks and tools to the open cargo bed packed with equipment, making it a centrepiece for any WWII diorama or collection.
