The Bronco Models 1/35 Airborne Troops Riding in 1/4-Ton Truck and Trailer (CB35169) is a highly detailed plastic model kit from Bronco Models, a Hong Kong–based manufacturer renowned for exceptional historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
Following their drops, Allied paratroopers in WWII frequently commandeered or were resupplied with 1/4-ton Willys Jeeps to provide mobility on the ground. This combination of airborne infantry and light utility vehicles became a hallmark of operations in Normandy and the Netherlands during Market Garden (1944). Jeeps were often air-delivered by glider alongside paratroopers, enabling rapid exploitation of objectives and communications. This set captures that iconic wartime image of airborne soldiers mounted on jeeps and trailers, moving to their objectives.
