Today I will tell you more about ICM 1/35 WWII US Army Kitchen Truck (35587). This release comes as yet another version of the well-known vehicle. It is still molded in popular scale, but includes a bit more items to be placed in the rear side. Yes, it is whole field kitchen, and such setup might be a great candidate for diorama build. Such thing continues topic which was started by German kitchen not long time ago. Overall packaging is typical for the brand, so parts come in several plastic bags. There are 290 parts for assembly of G7117 truck and 266 parts for M-1937 Field Kitchen. Let's open all those items and take a closer look together.
By the way, here you can read review with another kitchen kit in the same scale.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.
First frame is similar to previous versions of this truck. Here you will find main chassis bars as well as some suspension elements.
Rear canvas won't be needed and will go into your spare parts box. Here you will use only small parts for the drivetrain.
Truck still features a lot of small parts for the suspension and engine. Be careful with those as all of them should be installed onto the model.
Plastic wheels is a big advantage of this kit as those parts look great straight out of the box. Here you can also see canvas supports which won't be used in today's version.
Front cab is separated into several panels. Doors and bonnet are separate parts too, so you can try to open them on your project.
This frame comes in two pieces. ICM placed here all necessary parts for the field kitchen. Some of the drawers and tables will have to be glued out of separate panels.
Kitchen version gets slightly different canvas supports which will be installed on the outer supports. Some experienced modelers can try to replicate those with metal wire.
Clear frame is packed separately, so it should arrive to you in top condition. Overall molding quality looks great, but there are no masks templates for those.
Decals sheet is not that big, but you will get all necessary symbols for three markings. All of them can be seen on the photo below.
Assembly manual is typical for ICM and I show all pages in the video-review as usual.
New release should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is quite an interesting take on the famous American truck. It is molded in popular scale and has great potential for some diorama ideas. Moreover, quality looks nice straight out of the box, so you just need to decide on how to build whole thing. I think there might be even some spares left, which you can use for some future projects. :)
