ICM 1/35 US Field Stove M1937 with cooks (35619)

The M1937 field range was the portable kitchen stove that fed the US Army across every theatre of the Second World War — a robust and versatile cooking unit that could prepare hot meals for a company in field conditions and was as important to morale and fighting effectiveness as ammunition and fuel. The cooks who operated these stoves worked long hours in difficult conditions, often within range of enemy fire, to keep their units fed and functioning. ICM's set combines the field stove with cook figures in a diorama subject that celebrates the unglamorous but essential logistics of the frontline — the kind of behind-the-scenes military life that most kits ignore entirely.

The unsung frontline — the US Army's field kitchen and the cooks who kept the fighting men fed.
