Dodge Communications Truck
ROCO 1:87 Scale Vehicle Review
The ROCO 1:87 scale Dodge Communications Truck is a ficticious military vehicle based on the ROCO Truck, ¾ ton, 4×4, Cargo, Dodge WC-52.
The Allies had no need for another dedicated radio truck, as the Weapons Carrier series already included two radio vehicles, the WC-58 and WC-54. The WC-58 differs from the ROCO WC-56 by its additional radio equipment in the rear and the antenna mount on the left side of the body.
The Model is sold fully assembled, ready to play. Mould lines and sprue need to be removed prior to painting.
The missing windshields on this vintage model can be scratchbuilt from clear polystyrene. The best way to do this is to replace the entire windshield frame and then paint the frame onto the clear plastic part. This can be achieved by masking the windshield with masking tape before painting.
Compatible with HO scale model railway equipment and miniatures by ESPEWE, Faller, Märklin, Noch, Pola, Preiser, and Wespe Models.
The ROCO Dodge radio truck must have been produced in large numbers, as it can be found cheaply online or at flea markets.
