Takom US Army 1/4-ton Utility Truck with Canvas Top
This Takom 1/35 scale plastic model kit recreates the ubiquitous WWII US Army light utility vehicle officially designated Truck, 1/4-ton, 4×4, command reconnaissance. A familiar military vehicle from the period, it makes a versatile subject for a WWII vehicle collection, display or scene.
The kit provides plenty of detail to work with, including a detailed chassis, engine and seats. Photo-etch and clear parts are also supplied, adding further detail to the finished model. A driver figure is included, giving you the option of displaying the vehicle with a crew member in place.

Display Options
The choice of configurations gives the model useful flexibility when deciding how to present the finished vehicle. The canvas top can be fitted or omitted, while the folding windscreen adds another visible feature to your chosen build. The optional machine gun fit offers a further variation, and four marking choices allow you to select the finish you prefer.
As a compact US Army vehicle subject, it can sit naturally alongside other 1/35 vehicles. The included driver figure also makes the kit particularly suitable for a populated vehicle display rather than presenting the truck on its own.
Building and Finishing
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model kit that requires paint and glue for assembly and finishing. The combination of chassis and engine detail, photo-etch components, clear parts and configurable features gives the modeller scope to concentrate on both the mechanical detail and the overall appearance of this distinctive WWII US Army utility truck.
