Heller 1/35th scale - US Army 1/4 ton Truck & Trailer

Many jeeps received added armor in the field, especially in Europe in 1944–1945. Frequently, a rear slanting armor plate was added in front of the grille, replacing the windshield, as well as the sides, in place of where doors would be.

The T24 Scout Car was built on a 6×6 Willys MT "Super-Jeep" chassis.
Since reconnaissance was one of the jeep's primary purposes, there was a demand for some armor from the start of production. Starting in April 1942, the second T14 GMC 6×6 Willys MT-Tug chassis was converted to the T24 Scout Car. Though performing well in trials, the T24 was abandoned in the autumn in favor of the M8 & M20 Light Armored Car. Concurrently, the Ordnance Corps was pushed to work on a lightly armored reconnaissance design, based on the standard Willys 4×4 jeep. Different armor configurations were tested on the T25 through T25E3 prototypes, respectively.
