The US Army's Willys MB Jeep served throughout World War II with many of the Allied forces when it was deployed as a light 4x4 cross-country vehicle. Iit is suitably camouflaged for the deserts of North Africa in 1943. Decorated in a sandy body colour with dark beige seats, its US Army numbering is printed on the sides of the bonnet and across the rear in black. The Allied five-pointed star is enclosed in a pale blue circle and also appears on the bonnet. It features in a smaller size behind the rear wheels and on the rear tailgate, alongside the spare wheel. To complete the model, a set of equipment including a long handled spade is fixed below the driver's door. No doubt essential if you are crossing the desert.
