Bronco models is set to release three models, one, a modern US Navy vessel, USS Fort Worth. Two, a US WW2 jeep with AT Gun in tow. Three, a US Truck Crew Set.
Fort Worth, the third LCS delivered to the Navy and the second of the steel, semi-planing monohull Freedom variant, is designed to operate quickly in shallow water littoral environments to counter challenging threats in coastal regions, specifically mines, submarines and fast surface craft. The Fort Worth will maintain a forward presence and deter hostility while projecting power and maintaining sea control.

US GPW is a Ford made Jeep that is widely used during WW2 by the US Army. It was manufactured between 1941 to 1945 and together with Willys MB formed the iconic "Jeep" trademark for small 4x4 vehicles.
The 37mm AT-Gun M3A1 is the US answer to German PAK 35/36. The AT Gun was in service with US Army and Marine Corps.
Two models of the weapon were made: the M3 and the M3A1. The latter version had a threaded barrel end to accept a ported muzzle brake. This accessory saw very limited combat service, which showed it was unnecessary. M3A1's could be used without the brake and were issued interchangeably with the M3 version.

The WW2 US Truck Crew Set is a nice complement to the GPW Jeep above, or it can also be used in other settings. Note that Truck means Jeep in this case, since the 1/4 ton 4x4 vehicle is often referred to as Truck by the US Army during WW 2.
