TM35012 US Heavy Wrecker Ward LaFrance Model 1000 Series 4 – 1:35 Scale Model Kit
The Ward LaFrance M1 Heavy Wrecker was one of the most iconic recovery vehicles of World War II. Produced between 1941 and 1945, this 10-ton 6×6 truck was designed to recover damaged tanks, vehicles, and equipment under the harshest battlefield conditions. Powered by a robust 6-cylinder Continental engine, the M1 wrecker was built both by Ward LaFrance and Kenworth, with each manufacturer adding subtle design differences.
The Series 4, introduced in 1943, featured distinctive updates including a curved extended crane boom, larger fuel tank filler caps, and improved military dashboard instruments. Only 400 units of the Series 4 were produced, making it a rare and historically significant vehicle.
