What vehicle is this?

Looks like the Ward-LaFrance heavy wrecker: lostimagesofww2.com/.../ward-la-france-m1.php

Yup, that's it. Rob comes through again! Now, for the bigger question--anyone know if there is a kit of this wrecker? I found a 1/72 version from FanKit models. FanKit also has a 1:50 version, but it's about $250 US! Anyone know anything about this maker? I'd rather build it in 1:35 and not pay so dearly. It appears to be intentionally built as a wrecker, so I don't think there is even a model of the truck as a flat bed that I could maybe scratch-build a boom winch for in 1:35. Can anyone tell me anything about that in 1:35? Thanks for your help.

In 1/35, the only kit I know of is a resin one by Accurate Armour out of Scotland.

A similar vehicle is the 1/35 Mirror Models Diamond T 969 Wrecker kit.

This is a similar vehicle and available in plastic kit form.

Accurate Armour do it in 1/35th;

Thanks, Heavyarty. That's perfect.

Thanks much, Milairjunkie. I'll check that out. I appreciate it.

What type of plane is in that deuce and a half?  That'd make a cool project.

Piper J-3 Cub spotter plane

Cool. Thanks!
