The MINI53066 – G7117 Cargo Truck with Water Trailer kit represents a U.S. Army cargo truck from the Chevrolet G7117 1.5-ton 4x4 series, paired with a water tank trailer, in 1/35 scale.

The G7117 was part of the widely used 1.5-ton 4x4 Chevrolet truck family produced for the U.S. Army during the Second World War. Rugged and versatile, it served in cargo transport and general supply roles. When coupled with a water trailer, it played a vital role in providing fresh water to troops in operational areas across Europe, North Africa and the Pacific.

This kit allows modelers to build a complete logistical set, ideal for dioramas depicting field camps, supply points or rear-area support scenes. The addition of the water trailer enhances both historical accuracy and visual interest.

The model features detailed reproduction of the chassis, cab and cargo bed, as well as the towed water tank. It offers strong potential for realistic weathering effects such as dust, operational wear and climate-related finishes.

Designed for experienced modelers, this kit is a versatile and historically consistent addition to any Allied WWII vehicle collection.
