Vehicle history: The Ward LaFrance Truck Corporation, founded by Addison Ward LaFrance in 1916 in Elmira Heights, NY, was a well-known manufacturer of trucks and fire equipment. During World War II, the company supplied over 5000 trucks for military service. The M1 model, a 10-ton heavy wrecker 6×6 with a 6-cylinder Continental engine, was produced by Ward LaFrance and Kenworth from 1941 to 1945. The first type, M1, was standardized in July 1941 and used cabs made of steel modeled after civilian vehicles. The later version, M1A1, produced from 1943, featured an open cab with a folding canvas roof.

The M1 series was produced in five different models (Series 1 to Series 5). The first series, Series 1, appeared in 1941, and only 69 units were produced. The Series 1 design was simpler than in subsequent series – it had a front winch powered by the gearbox, no rear winch, but a small block mounted at the rear of the vehicle and a manually operated crane. Spare wheels were mounted transversely behind the cab. These vehicles were painted in olive color and originally used 11.25-20 tires.

Assembly and painting kit. Does not include paints or glue. For assembly, separately sold modeling tools are needed (including cutters, files, tweezers), paints, brushes, and plastic model glue (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement). The photo shows a professionally assembled and painted model.
