1:35 ICM 35492 Studebaker US6-U5 - American Fuel Tanker WWII Plastic Model kit

Build an accurate replica of a historically significant vehicle with the Studebaker US6-U5 WWII American Fuel Tanker from ICM. Developed by the Studebaker Corporation in 1941, this truck was known for its robust design and excellent payload capacity. Powered by a 6-cylinder Hercules JXD engine producing 94 horsepower, the Studebaker US6 had impressive off-road capabilities.

The Studebaker US6-U5 version was equipped with a versatile 750-gallon (2840 liters) fuel tank, consisting of two tandem-mounted 375-gallon tanks. The sides featured racks for storing 5-gallon fuel cans. These fuel tankers were converted at Heil’s factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with around 1,150 vehicles produced. While most were supplied to US allies, some speculations suggest that a few of these tankers may have been used by US Army units as well.
