Italeri 0228 Dodge WC-56/57 Command Car 1/35 – plastic assembly model

Italeri 0228 Dodge WC-56/57 Command Car in 1/35 scale is a unique plastic assembly model of a military vehicle, perfectly replicating the American command car from World War II. The WC-56 and WC-57 Dodge versions, also known as Command Cars, were based on the popular Dodge WC platforms and served as primary means of transport for the command staff and communications services. They were recognizable thanks to the open cab with a canvas top and four-wheel drive, which performed well even in the toughest terrain conditions.

Dodge WC-56 and WC-57 appeared on all fronts of World War II in the American army as well as with allies. They were used to transport the most important officers and to ensure continuous communication in the dynamic environment of battle. The WC-57 model differed by the use of a winch—this feature is faithfully rendered in the set, allowing you to build one of two versions.

The Italeri 0228 model is valued for its very good part fit and faithful rendering of structural details—every element showcases the original military Dodge character. The set is dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5). It will work great as part of a larger diorama or as a standalone historical miniature. We recommend it to both US military enthusiasts and collectors of World War II vehicles. This model is an excellent base for enhancement with weathering and detailing techniques.
