Zvezda 1:35 American army vehicle WC-52 "Three-quarters" with winch

The production of multipurpose all-wheel-drive army vehicles WC-52 with a winch began in 1941. The artillery tractor was equipped with a Braden MU-2 winch, which allowed it to pull 3400 kg. The winch could be used both for self-extraction of a vehicle stuck in mud off-road and for transporting various military cargo. In addition to carrying cargo or soldiers in the bed, the vehicle was capable of towing a trailer or a gun weighing up to 2 tons. For example, WC-52s supplied under Lend-Lease during the Great Patriotic War in the USSR transported ZIS-3 divisional guns.From 1941 until the end of the war, 59,000 WC-52s were built. They served not only in the American army but were also supplied to the United Kingdom, the USSR, China, and the Free French Forces.
