As with the initial Dragon Armor release, the second 1/4-Ton 4x4 Truck set features two complete model vehicles inside. This time each vehicle comes equipped with a .50-cal M2 heavy machine gun on a pedestal mount. The pedestal mount is finely detailed, and the weapons even come with their associated .50-cal ammo boxes. It isn’t easy making such a diminutive vehicle in this scale, but these Dragon Armor vehicles are rich in detail. Utilizing Dragon’s newest technological innovations, the vehicles are reproduced with a sophisticated degree of detail. Each vehicle in the set bears different US Army unit markings for extra variation. Fully built-up and pre-painted, these two miniatures are bristling with detail…and now…bristling with machine guns too!
Designed to meet a US Department of War requirement for a light, cross-country reconnaissance vehicle, the Willys MB Army Jeep was manufactured between 1941 and 1945. The Willys Jeep was the original version of what would later become one of the most iconic vehicles in American history, evolving into a popular civilian vehicle that is still being produced today. The Willys Jeep was a compact, four-wheel drive vehicle that rapidly became one of the most prolific vehicles of WWII. More than 640,000 standardized versions were produced, with 8,690 other versions built over a period of four years. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Dragon's 1:72 scale Willy's Jeep is constructed entirely in plastic to accurately replicate fine-scale details. The open cab provides an unobstructed view of the interior featuring an accurately thin-rimmed steering wheel, three transmission gear-shift levers and seats. Some releases also include a center mounted heavy machine gun complete with ammo box. An exceptional amount of scale detail is clearly visible on the model's underside such as an intricately detailed leaf-spring suspension, transaxles and separately applied engine exhaust system. The exterior features separately applied battlefield equipment such as shovels, hatchets, jerry cans and a spare tire. Additional details include a fixed transparent windscreen and delicate side mirror with simulated glass.
