„He was faithful as a dog, strong as a mule and agile as a goat. It always carried twice what it was designed for - and it still kept going. " (Ernie Pyle, Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent)
When the Willys MB first entered service in the 1940s, it was not the only light Geländewagen on the battlefield. It was not the most groundbreaking design and did not have the most advanced technology. Yet it was to spark a revolution - designed to tackle the most extreme terrain, it became a reliable and versatile workhorse, cherished by soldiers around the world for years to come.
Like its big brother in 1/6th scale, the FMS Willys MB Scaler in 1/12th scale also features numerous scale details. A realistically moulded hard body, real rear view mirrors, a detailed dashboard, rubber tyres and removable accessories such as a fuel tank, an axe, a shovel, a functional bonnet and a folding windscreen – this scale model leaves no detail out. But the 1:12 Willys MB offers even more.
More details:
Such as original canvas seats, a folding rear seat with opening storage compartments and tyres with amazingly true-to-scale treads.
Even more realistic:
The chassis of the Willys MB has a solid ladder frame rail, which corresponds to its counterpart in original size, multi-leaf springs with shock absorbers and offset differentials, which makes this vehicle in no way inferior to the legendary historic Willys.
Even more versatile:
The Wllys MB by FMS features a fantastic LED system (four turn signals, two headlights and one searchlight) that makes exploring the terrain in the dark easy. In addition to the true-to-scale finish and detail, the 2.4GHz ANT transmitter offers modellers from beginner to expert the ability to tackle exciting courses with a two-speed gear option (creep mode and beginner mode). In addition, the transmitter gives a low battery warning, motor overload protection and more.
Sometimes smaller really is better. The legend lives on - 1941 MB Willys MB!
