    Product details

    Background & context

    Die Eighth Air Force brachte 1942 nicht nur Bomber nach England, sondern ihren gesamten Fuhrpark gleich mit. Der Autocar U-7144-T zog den F-1-Auflieger mit 2.000 Gallonen Hochoktanbenzin - eine B-17 brauchte für einen Flug nach Deutschland einen Großteil davon. Der Chevrolet M6 mit seinem Hebekran hängte die 500-Pfünder in die Schächte und nahm bis zu fünf beladene M5-Anhänger an den Haken. Der dreirädrige Cushman schließlich fuhr Post, Ersatzteile und Offiziere über Plätze, die sich kilometerweit über die Felder von East Anglia zogen.

    On the tabletop

    This set shows the ground support of an American bomber base in England: a tractor unit with fuel trailer, a bomb service truck with bomb trailer, and the three-wheeled Cushman for errands. From 200 parts in 1:72 you build a vehicle fleet that lets you refuel and bomb up a B-17 or Liberator before a mission in your diorama. Even on their own the vehicles show how the Eighth Air Force kept its airfields in East Anglia supplied.
