The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. 2.5-Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck (35218) reproduces the iconic American military truck known as the 'Deuce and a Half' — the GMC CCKW 2.5-ton 6x6 that was the universal workhorse of the American and Allied war effort. Over 800,000 were produced during WWII, supplying Allied forces from Normandy to Germany and across every Pacific theatre. The Red Ball Express — the supply convoy system that kept Patton's advance rolling — ran almost entirely on this truck.
Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the Deuce and a Half's characteristic cab, cargo bed, and six-wheel drive configuration with excellent detail.
