1/35 Studebaker US6-U3, US military truck
ICM 1/35 Studebaker US6-U3 is a plastic kit of the American WWII three-axle military truck. It contains 217 parts and 4 marking options. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Studebaker Corporation launched the three-axle Studebaker US6 in 1941, and from 1943 REO Motor Car joined production. About 200,000 vehicles in thirteen versions were built in total. A robust design, high payload and the 94 hp six-cylinder Hercules JXD engine gave it strong off-road performance.
Most of the trucks went to US allies, but some also served the US armed forces – for example the US Army Corps of Engineers during the construction of the Alaska Highway. A small number were used by the US Army in Europe under so-called reverse Lend-Lease, and use in the Far East is also recorded.
The ICM kit contains 217 parts; the finished model measures 183 × 77 mm. The four marking options include a Corps of Engineers truck from 1942 and the Studebaker of Rusty Dow, the first woman to drive on a military road in Alaska (1944) – an unusual subject for a display case or diorama. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
