About product

M42 US 3/4 ton 4x4 command truck (1:35, Roden)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American M42 command truck with a 3/4 ton payload and 4x4 drive, in 1:35 scale from Roden. The model captures the version adapted for command work with an enclosed canvas body. The kit is injection-molded plastic with rubber tires; the exact contents of the package and the number of decals are not stated here.

The real subject

The M42 was a command truck derived from the standard M37 truck with a 3/4 ton payload and all-wheel drive. It came about through the addition of a special set: a new canvas top with side windows, a split tailgate, stronger interior lighting for reading maps and a folding table in the middle of the body. The vehicles were given more powerful radio sets for reliable communications in the field, so they served as mobile command posts. The model suits postwar and Cold War scenes.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts from the sprues and glue them with thin cement for plastic. Assemble and paint the chassis, the engine and the interior of the body before you add the canvas. After spraying primer and olive paint with an airbrush, pick out the details with a wash and apply dust and mud to the chassis and the tires with pigments. The canvas can be gently picked out with filters and a dry brush for a convincing textile look.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American military soft-skin vehicles
  • Modelers of light off-road vehicles in 1:35
  • Builders of command and rear-area scenes
  • Anyone interested in vehicles derived from the Dodge M37

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
