M274 1/2ton 4x4 Utility Platform Truck "Mechanical Mule"

A superb quick build kit of the US M274 Mechanical Mule 1/2ton Utility Platform Truck which includes two vehicles in the box. Designed by Willys, the M274 was introduced in 1956 to work alongside the 1/4ton Jeep and 3/4ton Weapons Carriers to provide additional capacity for infantry battalions. Initially designed as a medical vehicle for evacuating casualties where Jeeps couldn't reach it was further developed as a carrier of supplies and personnel. The M274 saw extensive use in Vietnam.
