Description
Happy to meet you again!
I was away from home in July and August.
My last model is highly detailed ( chassis, technical parts...) with many opening and rotating parts.
Of course, it's a far better picture in full size!
The Red Ball Express was an enormous truck convoy system created by Allied forces to supply their forward-area combat units moving quickly through Europe following the breakout from the D-Day beaches in Normandy. The route was marked with red balls and closed to civilian traffic; the trucks were marked with red balls ( look at the trailer ) and given priority when on regular roads. At its peak the Red Ball Express operated 5,958 vehicles and carried about 12,500 tons of supplies per day.
The Autocar U-7144-T Tractor, 4-ton, 4x4 (G-510) was also produced by White as Model 444T (G-691). About 11,000 of the Autocar and 2,750 of the White were produced. The U-7144-T and 444T were both powered by the Hercules RXC 529 cu. in., 112hp 6cyl gasoline engine. They had a maximum towed load capacity of 30,000 lbs.

This belongs indeed to the highest highroad of 3D modelling!

I wonder if these vehicles also were used as hauling dead bodies to grave sites = that's what I thought of when I first viewed it.
