They do not contain paints and glues unless otherwise stated.\u003cbr\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003eHot and hearty meals on the front lines played a much more significant role for soldiers than for ordinary civilians in peacetime. Regular meals during wartime not only addressed the issue of maintaining combat readiness but also had considerable moral importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring World War II, the U.S. Army used M-1937 field ovens, which ran on liquid fuel, for cooking. These ovens allowed soldiers to fry, roast, stew, or even bake pies. Similar ovens could also be installed in the beds of army trucks converted into field kitchens; these vehicles were called “kitchen trucks”. These trucks had extended frame arches for canvas covers so that cooks could stand upright while working.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWooden bench seats for personnel, which were normally installed inside standard army trucks, could be placed on the outside in kitchen trucks to hold pots, baking trays, and other kitchen equipment. Cooks working in field kitchens and kitchen trucks aimed to provide soldiers with hot meals at least twice a day. Most of the food prepared was simple but high in calories. However, whenever possible, American soldiers were treated to something more enjoyable—for example, roasted turkey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eFour U.S. Army cooks from WWII, three infantrymen, a driver, and a Kitchen Truck based on the G7117 vehicle\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed figures with accurate uniforms and clothing elements\u003cbr\u003eM-1937 stoves can be assembled with doors open or closed\u003cbr\u003eIncludes kitchen utensils with knives, pot, baking or frying pan, canisters, and thermoses\u003cbr\u003eRecreate an authentic scene of U.S. Army daily life during World War II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Information\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:35\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 551 + 59 + 35 (645 total)\u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57892685578621,"sku":"ICMDS3532","price":43.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/zmocioseca5.jpg?v=1772569188","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/icm-diorama-sets-festive-dinner-on-the-front-line-us-wwii-g7117-kitchen-truck-figures-accessories","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
