The 2 1\/2ton fuel truck was a vital cog in the U.S. military machine during WWII, supporting the American drive for air supremacy with its work refueling and oiling a whole manner of aircraft. In fact, it was a variant of a commonly-used 2 1\/2ton truck that had its cargo bed replaced with a massive tank and pump mechanism, the side of the tank featured doors which allowed the crew access to pump the fuel. It was typically crewed by 2, featured 6-wheel drive which allowed it to tackle poor surfaces, and was powered by a 6-cylinder 4-stroke engine. It particularly proved its worth once the U.S. began to capture airfields near the front line without refueling facilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts key features are:\u003cbr\u003eThis is a 1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit of the U.S. 2 1\/2ton fuel truck\u003cbr\u003eLength: 136mm, width: 52mm\u003cbr\u003eThe model accurately captures the truck's large fuel tank and hard-top cab\u003cbr\u003eThe tank-side doors can be assembled in closed or open position, and parts are also included to depict the hose reel, with vinyl tubing and enamel wire to recreate the hose itself\u003cbr\u003eSeparate parts are included to recreate the tank-front pump\u003cbr\u003eComes with 2 figures depicted in the act of refueling, and also features 2 marking options for U.S.A.F. vehicles\u003cbr\u003e1) US Army Air Forces, France\u003cbr\u003e2) US Army Air Forces, France, June 1944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaints needed: Olive Drab, Chrome Silver, Semi-Gloss Black, Flat Black, Flat Red, Flat Brown, Flat Flesh, Flat Earth, Metallic Gray, Buff, Dark Yellow, Red Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Factory New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperational Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"#\" title=\"This item is brand new from the factory.\"\u003eFunctional\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Box:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tamiya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSRP:\u003c\/strong\u003e $41.00\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model Kits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Trainz SKU for this item is P11994042. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 6px !important; color: #d3d3d3 !important; line-height: 8px !important;\"\u003eTrainz Product Id: 11994042\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43930409074810,"sku":"P11994042","price":33.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1260\/4747\/files\/3674790.jpg?v=1739352384","url":"https:\/\/www.trainz.com\/products\/tamiya-32579-1-48-us-airfield-fuel-truck-military-vehicle-model-kit","provider":"Trainz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
