Tamiya 26531 - 1/48 1/4ton 4x4 Vehicle Finish WWII  [26531]

During the first stage of WW2, Germany obtained outstanding successes through the use of "Blitzkrieg" tactics with motorized troops. To be able to counter this, the Allied countries required tough and reliable vehicles with exemplary cross-country ability. In mid 1940, the U.S. Army ordered development of a little sized, multi-purpose 4-wheel drive automobile to meet up with this need. The next 12 months the design ended up being complete, with production start right after. As a means of transit for soldiers, the car played a vital part in securing Allied victory. It served on various fronts throughout the world, in almost every conceivable role. Production reached approximately 640,000 units by August 1945.
