Explore the Versatility of the 1/35 U.S. Ford MUTT with M416 Cargo Trailer

The Tamiya 35130 model kit captures the essence of the versatile Ford M151 MUTT, a significant evolution from its predecessor, the M38A1 "Jeep". Designed in the early 1950s by Ford Motor Company in collaboration with the U.S. Army, this vehicle was a modern marvel of its time, featuring an OHV engine, semi-monocoque body, and independent suspension. This model kit accurately reflects these innovations, offering hobbyists a detailed replication of the vehicle that served multiple roles during the Vietnam War, including as a combat ambulance and a missile launcher.

Accompanying the MUTT is the M416 cargo trailer, a key component in military logistics. This trailer is not only historically accurate but also serves to enhance the display value of the model, providing a comprehensive view of military transportation during that era. With a hauling capacity matching the MUTT's versatility, this model set is a must-have for those interested in military history and modeling.
