1/35 Standard B "Liberty", WWI US Army Truck
ICM 1/35 Standard B “Liberty” is a plastic kit of the American WWI army truck. It contains 192 parts and 2 options from 1918. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Liberty trucks produced for the US Army at the end of the First World War were the world’s first attempt at a standardised range of military vehicles, built in series by several firms from standardised assemblies.
The best known were the Class B (Series 1) trucks with a 3-ton payload, built by 15 American companies from early 1918. They were bonneted trucks with an open cab, a four-cylinder engine, shaft drive to a worm-gear rear axle and solid tyres. By the end of the war 9,452 had been assembled, and 7,600 of them were shipped to Europe.
The ICM kit contains 192 parts; the finished model is 195 mm long and 82 mm high. The decals show two US Army trucks from 1918, one of them in France – a welcome addition to any collection of early military vehicles. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
