Meng Model VS-012 WASP Flamethrower Jeep 1/35 – Plastic Assembly Model Kit

The Meng Model VS-012 WASP Flamethrower Jeep in 1/35 scale is a highly detailed plastic assembly kit that faithfully replicates one of the most unusual vehicles used by the British Army during World War II. The WASP version was a modification of the popular Willys MB Jeep, adapted to carry and operate a flamethrower used for clearing fortifications and enemy positions.

Historical Description

The WASP Flamethrower Jeep appeared towards the end of World War II. It was developed by the British armed forces to provide support for infantry during landings and urban fighting, where effective elimination of enemy bunkers, shelters, and machine gun positions was required. Thanks to its mobility and relatively small size, it proved excellent during combat in Western Europe in 1944-1945, especially during operations in France and Germany.
