Ammunition truck USA FWD Type B 1ªG.M. 1/35 ICM-35656

During World War I, the U.S. Army ordered 15,000 of these vehicles, known as the “Truck, 3-ton, Model 1917”. In fact, more than 14,000 units were delivered, with additional orders coming from Great Britain and Russia. At the same time, the U.S. Ordnance Department developed a model body for transporting ammunition, and some FWD Type B vehicles were equipped with similar bodies. These ammunition transporters were used by the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe, where they were responsible for transporting artillery shells and various equipment, as well as towing artillery pieces.
