Product Description

The Willys MB 1/4 ton Jeep and the Ford GPW are 4x4 wheel drive utility vehicles that were manufactured during World War II. Produced from 1941 to 1945, it evolved post-war into the civilian Jeep CJ and inspired both an entire category of recreational 4WDs and several generations of military light utility vehicles. Created during the North African Campaign of World War II, the Special Air Service specialised in carrying out hit-and-run attacks, in particular against Axis airfields. As no vehicle was adapted to this kind of mission, the SAS were forced to build their own. Heavily modified Lend-Lease Jeeps became the trademark weapon of the SAS. The windscreens, and sometimes the bumper were removed, in order to save weight and permit an extra payload to be carried. The radiator grille bars were often removed to allow more airflow to better cool the engine in the hot desert climate. Different weapons arrays were carried, including different combinations of various Browning and Vickers K machine guns according to available supply. The SAS Jeeps were used during the whole North African Campaign and later in Europe, where they were used for sabotage missions behind enemy lines.

This kit contains all necessary parts for assembling ONE Jeep Willys 4x4 SAS vehicle, under 1/100 scale. It can make a fine diorama display alongside with same scale figures or other vehicles, although it will look just fine on its own of course. Any additional diorama accessories are not included and should be purchased separately. The model is also available as x2 and x3 model kits.
