About product

Ward LaFrance M1000 series 4 1:35 (Thunder Model)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American heavy recovery vehicle Ward LaFrance M1000 in the series 4 (late) form in 1:35 scale from the manufacturer Thunder Model. This sizeable and detailed model combines plastic parts with photo-etched sheet, several 3D-printed parts, decals and enclosed ropes and chains. Series 4 is recognized by the curved lengthened crane boom and the reworked details of the cab and the tanks.

The real subject

The Ward LaFrance M1 was an American heavy recovery vehicle 6x6 of the Second World War period, intended for recovering and towing damaged tanks and vehicles right in the field. It was built in several series; series 4 of 1943 brought a lengthened crane boom, larger tank caps and reworked instruments. The vehicle carried a slewing crane and winches for heavy work on the battlefield.

Building and painting tips

Work in subassemblies; finish the cab interior and the engine compartment before closing them up. Apply a primer and spray with an airbrush. You will bring the olive green paint to life with washes into the recesses, dust pigments and greasy effects on the crane, the chains and the working surfaces - recovery vehicles used to be properly dirty. Bond the photo-etched and 3D-printed parts with super glue.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American support and engineer hardware of the Second World War
  • Advanced modelers who will appreciate the combination of plastic, photo-etch and 3D parts
  • Fans of recovery and towing vehicles
  • Builders of dioramas with damaged or towed hardware

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

FAQ

Series 4 of 1943 received a curved lengthened crane boom, larger tank caps and reworked instruments in the cab. It is one of the later, improved versions of the vehicle.

According to the manufacturer the kit also contains photo-etched sheet, several 3D-printed parts, decals and enclosed ropes and chains for a faithful rendering of the recovery equipment.

Given the number of parts and the combination of materials (plastic, photo-etch, 3D), it suits more experienced modelers as a longer project.
