ICM WWII US Army Kitchen Truck 1/35 Scale 35587

Description

To provide food for the American army, so-called “Kitchen Trucks” were used. They were used to transport kitchen equipment and some supplies and for the preparation of hot meals during unit marches. These trucks had extended arches for canvas covers on the body, so that cooks could stand upright while working. Wooden bench seats for personnel, which were located inside the body of army trucks, could be placed on the outside of the “Kitchen Trucks” for placing pots, pans, and other kitchen equipment. The equipment of such kitchens varied, but one of the essential components was the M-1937 field stove, which operated on liquid fuel. Each M-1937 stove came with a set of pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils. The stoves were placed either along the side walls of the bodies or near the cab. Various types of trucks were used as platforms for mobile kitchens, including the Chevrolet G506 modifications G7107 or G7117.
