ICM’s FWD Type B – WWI US Ammunition Truck in 1:35 scale faithfully recreates the American 3-ton four-wheel-drive workhorse known as the Truck, 3-ton, Model 1917. With its distinctive hoodless layout and the driver seated above the 4-cylinder, 36 hp engine, the Type B served widely with the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe, transporting artillery shells, equipment and also towing guns. Orders were placed in large numbers by the U.S. Army, with additional vehicles supplied to Great Britain and Russia. This kit represents the specialised Ordnance Department ammunition body fitted to some of these vehicles.

Designed with crisp moulding and accuracy, this plastic model kit (ICM part HC-ICM35656) provides a highly detailed build with optional presentation choices and authentic marking options from 1918 service.

The American company FWD (Four Wheel Drive Auto Company) was once an innovative enterprise that developed and produced four-wheel-drive vehicles. One of these cars, the 3-ton FWD Type B truck, had a classic hoodless layout with the driver’s position above the engine compartment. The driver was located directly on the hood of the 4-cylinder engine with a capacity of 36 hp, the radiator was located in front of the cabin.

During World War I, the U.S. Army ordered 15,000 of these vehicles, known as the “Truck, 3-ton, Model 1917.” In fact, over 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 body model 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 carried artillery shells and various equipment. Additionally, they were involved in towing artillery pieces.
