History:
The G7117 series of 1.5-ton 4×4 trucks was produced by Chevrolet during World War II as part of the U.S. Army’s effort to standardise its vehicle fleet. The wrecker variant, fitted with a rear-mounted crane and winch system, played a crucial role in battlefield logistics and vehicle recovery. Whether retrieving damaged equipment under fire or clearing transport routes, these trucks proved indispensable. MiniArt’s kit captures this unsung workhorse with outstanding detail, making it a valuable addition to any WWII model collection.
