WAR GAME ZONE - impression 3D - 1:48 - par Jérôme Hadacek

-17mai 2026 :
Il ne faut jamais oublier que ce ne sont ni WILLYS ni FORD qui sont à l’origine de la fameuse jeep de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais bien la petite firme AMERICAN BANTAM CAR Company, à qui le Quartermaster Corps (QMC) retirera le marché parce qu’elle est trop petite pour produire et satisfaire les quantités attendues par l’US Army. En guise de consolation, elle devra se contenter de la production de la remorque 1/4 ton T3 tractée par les jeeps...

BANTAM est donc la première à innover avec un petit véhicule tactique léger de reconnaissance et de liaison, avec ce prototype de MK I, puis la BRC 60 (MK II) (Bantam Reconnaissance Car), et enfin la BRC 40, plus connue et dont plusieurs exemplaires ont servi dans les troupes américaines et anglaises.
En tant que passionné de jeep, il m’était impossible de ne pas posséder ce modèle précurseur de tous les autres, et c’est mon ami Jean-Louis S. qui m’en a soufflé l’idée lors de l’un de nos échanges téléphoniques.
Les sites de vente de maquettes en impression 3D se multiplient chaque jour, et il est difficile d’en connaître toutes les productions. C’est chez WAR GAME ZONE que j’ai trouvé cette BANTAM composée de 6 éléments : une carrosserie complète et 5 roues ! Facile, non ?
/image%2F1477387%2F20260506%2Fob_794d6a_img-6079.jpg)
Zéro strie, un capot arrondi lisse et propre, une finesse et une qualité de résine irréprochables, un dégrappage des plus aisés, et au final une maquette hyper facile à monter, même sans modifications personnelles.
Point amusant chez WAR GAME ZONE : qu’il s’agisse d’une jeep ou d’un camion, le prix est quasiment toujours le même, aux environs de 20 € hors frais de port (20,90 € + 5,50 € de port). Bien loin de certains vendeurs qui, une fois l’échelle choisie, font grimper la facture de façon astronomique.
Une visite chez WAR GAME ZONE s’impose : Première Guerre mondiale, entre-deux-guerres, Seconde Guerre mondiale et contemporain, toutes nationalités sont représentées, avec plus ou moins de bonheur ou de ressemblance, plus ou moins de finesse, mais chacun y trouvera son modèle original pour un prix assez modéré, constituant une excellente base pour les plus experts d’entre nous.

Alors, passionnés de jeep ou de petits véhicules militaires, à votre BANTAM MK I et son allure désuète, dont on devine déjà les traits de la future jeep, l’une des voitures les plus connues au monde !
