Extended Information

Hobby Master HG4211 Free French Willys Jeep with Trailer - French 2nd Armored Division, Ksar Ghilane, Tunisia, 1943 (1:72 Scale) "In war there is no second prize for the runner-up."
- General Omar Bradley

Developed by the Quartermaster Corps, the jeep and other motor transport vehicles were transferred to the Ordnance Department in August 1942. Despite its lightweight, the jeep could perform a variety of functions, including towing a 37mm antitank gun over a 7% grade. Unencumbered, the jeep could climb a 60% grade, and was capable of attaining speeds in excess of 60-mph on a level highway. It could ford a stream 18-inches deep, even when fully equipped and loaded. It had a cruising range of approximately 300 miles on 15 gallons of gasoline. Operated by a crew of two, the jeep had a space in the rear for equipment or additional personnel.

Pictured here is a 1:72 scale replica of a Free French Army Willys Jeep that was attached to the French 2nd Armored Division. Sold Out!

Historical Account: "Liberation" - General Leclerc's French 2nd Armored Division left Southampton England bound for Normandy on July 29th, 1944. Among their accomplishments in 1944 was the liberation of Paris in August, the tank battles in Lorraine and the defeat of the German 112th Panzer brigade at Dompaire on September 13th, 1944. Next, they quickly moved through the Saverne gap and took part in the liberation of Strasbourg in November. General Leclerc's 2nd Division ended WWII in the Nazi town of Berchtesgaden near Hitler's mountain resort, the Berghof.
