ICM 1/35 US Standardized Class B Truck ( Great War era ) also known as the Liberty Truck

[ColonelKrypton]

I figured it was about time I posted one of my builds. This is my latest.

During the Great War the US War department realized that they needed to standardize their materials. One such effort was to create a standardized truck. The requirements where put to various manufactures and in quick order they responded with their design for the Standardized Class B Truck which became nicknamed the Liberty truck.

Powered by a 428 cu in four cylinder engine producing about 52HP, a wheelbase of 160 inches, capacity of 3 to 5 short tons, and a production run from various manufactures of 10,000 to 14,000.

It is finished for the moment. I still fussing over how much weathering to add and what type and amount of cargo it will carry. For the time being it will take it's place on my display shelf as I live with for a bit and wait for it to tell me what it wants to finish off.

cheers, Graham

1/35 scale.  In that scale it is about the same size as typical 1/24 scale car.
