1/35 US M151A2 Ford Mutt

Tamiya - 1/35 US M151A2 Ford Mutt

The U.S. Armoured vehicle test course is located in Aberdeen, Maryland, and is one of the most rigorous and demanding coursed in the world. Early in April 1957, a familiar looking small vehicle was seen to be running over the course with comparative ease, and upon closer inspection it turned out to be the replacement for the well known Willy’s “Jeep”, the new Ford M151. Outwardly this new vehicle looks very much like its older brother. Both are small, compact, rugged, simple to operate and maintain; however, the 151 incorporates all of the latest advanced features learned during combat operations in conflicts since world war II. Features such as the newly developed OHV engine, light semimonocoque body and 4 wheel independent suspension systems allowed it to outpoint all other submitted replacement vehicles for the ageing WWII Jeep.
