US 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck - 1/48
Item #32548

Product Description
Tamiya understands that military modellers seek variety in their
projects and as many options as possible when creating dioramas.
To that end, we have continued to add not only tanks, but also a
wide range of support vehicles to our 1/48MM series. The latest
addition is the versatile American 2.5 ton truck, which served in
all theatres of WWII as well as in the Korea and Vietnam
conflicts.

About the 2.5 Ton 6x6 Cargo Truck
Nicknamed the "deuce and a half," the M35 2.5 ton 6X6 supply
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 theatres 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.
