A plastic kit of the American Diamond T 972 heavy truck with a dump body, 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Diamond T 972 belongs to the family of American four-ton trucks with drive to all three axles. It differs from the cargo versions in its dump body, thanks to which the truck was not used to move freight but for earthmoving and construction work: it hauled gravel, sand and rubble on the building of roads, airfields and crossings. Trucks of this family accompanied Allied units throughout the Second World War and reached other armies as well. The massive radiator grille, the tall cab and the short wheelbase in relation to the height of the vehicle are the recognizable features.
In 1:35 scale the model comes out just under twenty centimeters long, so it is a substantial piece of equipment for a display case and for a diorama board alike. It fits figures and vehicles in the same scale, which matters with a supply and construction vehicle: on its own the model looks ordinary, but in a scene with a crew and a load it comes alive.
The chassis with its three axles is assembled at the start, and it is best glued on a flat surface so that the truck stands on all its wheels. Before gluing, remove excess material and production marks from the parts, sand the mating surfaces and try the assembly dry. Paint the cab before you close it up. Sand the tires flat on the side that meets the ground, and consider bringing out the dump body with a layer of dust and mud, because on a tipper a clean surface looks unconvincing.
The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue, filler and figures are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
