Jeep (Willy’s MB), Truck, 1/4 t, 4x4

Revisión del vehículo Hasegawa en escala 1:72

Jeep and cargo trailer used by a Free French combat team. The unit insignia, not visible in the photo, has been painted immediately below the windshield on the driver’s side of the vehicle. A rolled tarp made from tissue paper is stowed on the front bumber. Packs taken from infantry figuras or sculpted in DAS modelling clay may be tied to the sides of the Jeep. The trailer still needs to be loaded with personal equipment, ammunition, and other supplies. To create the impression of a loaded trailer, place several box-shaped pieces of balsa inside the cargo bay and cover them with a tissue paper tarp.
