ICM’s Studebaker US6-U5 – WWII US Gasoline Tank Truck (HC-ICM35492) is a 1:35 scale plastic model kit of the fuel tanker variant of the renowned US6. It features a high level of detail in both body and chassis, comprises 253 pieces, and includes decals for two marking options along with clear assembly instructions.
The real Studebaker US6 was developed in 1941 and powered by a 6‑cylinder Hercules JXD engine producing 94 hp, delivering excellent off‑road capability. Around 200,000 US6 vehicles were built across thirteen variants. The U5 tanker configuration carried a 750‑gallon (2840 litres) Heil tank formed from two tandem 375‑gallon sections, with side racks for 5‑gallon fuel cans. Conversions were completed at Heil’s Milwaukee facility, with around 1,150 tankers produced. These were supplied to US allies, and some speculations suggest a number may also have seen use with US Army units.
