JEEP WILLYS MB 1/4-ton 4x4 truck TAMIYA 1:35. Jeep Willys (other names: Willys MB, Jeep) is an American off-road vehicle of the Second World War and post-war period. The first prototypes of the car were built in 1940, and serial production was carried out in 1940-1945. In its course, almost 650,000 copies were created! The weight of the wagon was about 1.1 tons, with a length of 3.36 meters and a width of 1.57 meters. The transmission was provided by a single engine with a power of 60 hp. The maximum speed was up to 105 km / h. Jeep Willys was developed to order and requested by the US Army, which in 1940, facing the war, asked for a completely new 4x4 passenger car with a carrying capacity of up to 250 kilograms, which could be produced in series. It is worth adding that initially the American car Bantam with the Bantam BRC was clearly the favorite in the race. However, the US Department of Defense, trying to ensure the best possible design of the car and trying to ensure trouble-free serial production, handed over the plans for the Bantam BRC to the Willys and Ford plants. Based on these plans, Willys developed a Jeep that had a much better power unit than the original Bantam BRC, as well as being mechanically more perfect. In the end, it was this car, the Willys Jeep, that won the race for the US Army. The presented car was actually mass-produced and went to almost all the Anglo-Saxon armies fighting in World War II and, thanks to the Lend-and-Lease program, even to the Soviet Union. It took part in hostilities in North Africa, Italy, North-West Europe and the Pacific. It is often assumed that the Willys Jeep is one of the symbols of the American triumph in World War II.
