U.S. Army Amphibian Jeep

Dan
The packaging of the 1:24 wooden kit produced by Mod-AC Mfg. in 1943 promised that the "U.S. Army amphibian jeep (Quack) will lead the invasion of the Axis countries," and mentioned it had already seen service "from New Guinea to Kharkov." (Kharkov, at the time the biggest city in Ukraine, was largely destroyed in four major battles between German and Soviet forces from 1941-43.)

The Mod-AC kit contained pre-cut wooden parts and cardboard details, as well as decals and sandpaper. When assembled it is 7 inches long. This example sold on eBay appears to have a metal steering wheel casting, which may not be original.
