As US bomber operations began to take place at airfields all over Southern England from the summer of 1942, the vehicles used in servicing their Liberators and Flying Fortresses were slowly changing from the standard RAF support vehicles, to specialized US Air Force equipment. From fuel trailers to bomb trolleys, Bedford were quickly being replaced by Chevrolets. Autocrat U-7144-T 4X4 tractor unit and F-1 fuel trailer. The U-7144-T was used extensively by the US military from 1942 onwards and was certainly found on most, if not all USAAF airfields in Britain, particularly in conjunction with the standard F-1 fuel trailer. With many aircraft requiring refueling on a daily basis, it was usual for each base to have numerous examples of the U-7144-T available at any one time. Chevrolet M6 bomb service truck. This utility 4X4 truck was capable of carrying a small number of bombs in its own right, but was more commonly used in conjunction with the M5 bomb trailer. Indeed, it was capable of towing up to five fully loaded M5 bomb trailers, which was just as well considering the number of missions USAAF bomber crews were required to undertake. The new set will also include the M5 bomb trailer. Cushman Model 39 Package Car. This light, three wheeled utility vehicle will have been used for a multitude of light duties on USAAF bases. A development of a motor scooter design, the single wheel at the back provided the power for the vehicle, which allowed a small cargo box to be fitted at the front. Again, the Cushman would have been a regular feature on a USAAF airfield.

The vehicles were well detailed, in fact a bit too much detail! The undercarriage has many tiny parts (springs, axles, exhaust pipes, etc.) that really added no value to the model and also made it very delicate and hard to put together! The decals are mostly very small and take a great deal of patients to work with. They did add a lot of authenticity to my display, so overall I am pleased. I did build a maintenance stand and also a maintenance tent out of copper wire and scrap plastic pieces. I used old military coveralls for the tent canvas.

Great kit
This kit has a great deal of detail for a 1/72 scale.the fit is great...much better than some other kits I’ve assembled. There are a ton of parts...an overall fun kit to build. The only drawback is I’m building a diorama, and figures are difficult to find that would fit the theme.
