Nicknamed the "deuce
and a half," the M35 2.5 ton 6X6 cargo truck was one of the unsung heroes of
WWII, with over 800,000 produced. Designed to be easy to maintain and repair,
the truck served in all theaters supplying the front lines with needed material.
One notable supply operation that the truck took part in was the "Red Ball
Express" supply chain that was created after the Allied invasion of Normandy.
It�s rugged versatility meant that it was extremely configurable and troops in
the field often added their own modifications according to their needs, like
soldiers in Vietnam who welded armor plates to their trucks.
This is a finished model of the 1/48 2�-Ton 6x6
Cargo Truck.
You are able to display your model as it is,
once removed from its cube shaped box.
After the washing process, a light weathering is
administered which enhances the realistic finish.
Decals and high quality pad printed markings
have a lifelike weathered appearance.
Special spin-cast parts add to the feeling of
weight to the model.
