Willys British Airborne Jeep, 75mm Pack Howitzer M1 & 10cwt Trailer

This kit depicts a Willys Jeep converted for airborne use along with the 75mm Pack Howitzer M1 and a 10cwt Trailer for supplies and ammunition. A number of modifications were required to the standard jeep to make it more suitable for airborne use, some of which were essential to allow it to fit into the British CG-4 Waco glider. The British Paratroopers utilised the US M1 75mm Pack Howitzer during WWII given its light construction allowed for it to be moved and used over difficult terrain.
