ACADEMY 13403 1/72 U.S. Ambulance & Tow Truck

Model Kit

Few vehicles better illustrate the versatility of American military logistics in World War II than the light-duty support trucks adapted for specialized roles such as field ambulances and recovery vehicles. Built on proven commercial and military chassis, these trucks provided essential battlefield support—evacuating the wounded from forward areas and recovering disabled vehicles under often hazardous conditions. Their presence behind the front lines was as critical as any armored unit at the tip of the spear, ensuring both manpower and materiel could be sustained throughout extended operations.

This 1/72 scale release brings that dual-purpose utility to life with a thoughtfully paired ambulance and tow truck combination, offering excellent variety for small-scale military scenes. The ambulance variant captures the clean, functional lines of a mobile medical unit, while the tow truck reflects the rugged, equipment-laden configuration needed for recovery duties.
