Willys MB, popularly known as "Jeep", is a military off-road vehicle, that was produced and supplied to the allies in the United States during World War II. In addition to the Willys factory, they were also produced by the Ford factory, where they were designated Ford GPW. Both models were widely used by all Allied armies throughout the war, after which these cars spread throughout the world, not only in military, but also in civilian service.
A small, but rather complex model represents an airborne force vehicle. The spare wheel on cars of this version was attached to the modified bumper at the front, and the canister attachment was moved to the inside of the body. The car could tow an ammunition trailer of 10 cwt and a 75mm howitzer. The ammunition of this howitzer was fixed on the hood in special tubes. The model depicts a car of the 1st Polish Paratroopers Separate Brigade, led by General Sosabowski. The model is intended for modellers with no less, than average experience.
